Dear Buzznet

You know how, when you're writing a new journal entry, there are three little buttons at the bottom?  "Save Draft," "Cancel," and "Publish"?

Design tip: if you're going to make one of those buttons more prominent than the others, by making it bright blue and putting it right in the middle, don't make that button delete the long-ass journal I just spent the last hour writing.

I'd say this is Design 101, but I'm not sure that issue has ever come up in a design class.  Keeping the "Destroy My Work" button off to the side is usually considered common sense.

Not quite. The first one-third is saved as a draft. Plus a couple paragraphs I deleted from the final version. This bastard's being rewritten from memory.
