Error message if no title, or no content

Hi finnj,

A feedback on the mandatory fields (title, content).

Instead of saving posts as draft when there is no title or no content, I think such posts should not be submitted at all and show an error message instead directly on the form.

There is currently a small warning message that appears on the list page, but the fact that it does not display error message on the form is not user friendly. Intuitively users have pressed the “publish” button (not the “save as draft” button) so they think the post was published because they are then redirect to the list page. They may not read the small print warning.

I think a proper submission workflow would to block any posting if the title and content fields are empty, i.e. mandatory fields.
