      I'm not sure exactly what you mean by editing the post. What part are you trying to edit? Text? Graphics? By knowing what you need to edit, it may help me give you a more direct answer without guessing.

      If you have already published it,  then after you edit you go to the top of the page and click "Done Editing". This automatically sends it to be re-evaluated. It is still published.

            Just go to your statistics page and click on the title of the Hub.
            
            Another way is if you are in the edit mode then you go to the top of the page and on the left you will see "Preview". Click on that and you will see what it looks like before you are done editing.

                  I forgot to tell you that it is already published. After you look at the Preview, go back to the top and look to the right and you will see an 'X'. Click on that and you will return to edit. Unless you want to edit more you click 'Done Editing' and return again to the stats page. The Hub is published all of this time, you did that a while ago.
                  When you edit, and preview, a Hub you are correcting or adding to, or removing errors, from an already published Hub.

                  alkanarula,
                  I made an error when I explained it before. If you had clicked 'Publish', then 'Done Editing' should not be appearing for you to click. 'Done Editing' means that you have not finished writing yet and have not published it.
                  When you are in edit mode, go to top of page and see if 'Publish' is in center of page. If it is and you are prepared to publish then this is what you click. After you publish it you will see three new words appear at top of page.
                  I apologize for confusion.

                        Since I cannot see it I cannot tell you directly. You have to tell me what is happening such as, is the 'Publish' button still there? If you are editing it and seeing it, then it cannot be deleted - I can tell you that much.

                              It is not on your profile page. When you are at the the top of a page, such as this page, see your user name towards the right. Hover above that and see 'my account' appear and click on it. Your statistics page will show up.

                                    By the way, the articles on here are not really called blogs but Hubs.
                                    
                                    I also looked for your Hub right away but it is still in the 'pending mode'. That means that it is going through the Quality Assessment Process. This is when it is looked over to make sure that everything is OK. It usually takes approximately 24 hours to do this. Since it is your first one it may/may not take longer. You can check on your statistics page by a symbol - two curved gray arrows mean that only you can see it. An 'H' in a black circle means that it is in public view.

                                    Try this - (I am just guessing since I am not positive of your problem yet) - go to video capsule and click on edit. To the far right near top you will see empty box with saying "Do not show". Click on the empty box and this should put a checkmark in the box. Click on save.
                                    Click on 'Preview' and video should not show, leave 'Preview and return to edit. If video did not show is problem gone in edit? If it is, click 'Publish' again.

                                    No. You must either erase the other website and wait at least 1-11/2 weeks before publishing it here if that is the problem.

   I do not see that you published a hub. I also checked your "my activity" on your profile page and it does not show it is published.
   
   Go to "my accounts" and see if you see your hub on the list.
   Also, look at the legend map at the bottom of the "My accounts" page and look at the icons. The definitions for the various icons are there.

      She just published it missolive, since she has edited it a couple of times - and if there are any problems - means it is probably still in pending.

         Hi Examiner, I hate to be skeptical but the "my activity" log usually shows published hubs regardless if it is still pending. Besides, you can still edit without having clicked "publish".
         
         I hope she gets it figured out.
