In the next version (1.2), there will be a way to preview your post. If you use the “Save and continue editing” button, you’ll get a preview at the bottom of the screen.

Err. I guess you meant that in 1.2 if I use the save and continue button I’ll get the preview, huh?
u get a preview if u go from simple post screen to advance post screen.
u get a preview if u edit a post.
u get a preview on clicking save and continue.
u just dont get a preview as u type as of now. 🙂

Strange…on my WP, I don’t see a preview in those ways you mentioned
only way I see it is from [Edit] in Admin (which is not really preview)
right now, it’s more of a trial-and-error for me (which is sufficient)
but a Preview from 1.2 is certainly very welcome
are u on the nightly?
coz dougal said Next Version!
Also, if you implement the draft/private state options ‘hack’, you can then see your own drafts or private posts in the normal site posts loop. That’s how I have been doing it for the last three months…

As a quick note, this sorta works, but sorta doesn’t. It’d be nice if you could preview your changes WITHOUT having to make them live. i.e. if you’re editing a previous post, rather than continue & save, it’d be nice if you could preview the changes before they get saved. I’m going to look and see if there’s any way I can implement it.
I’m thinking of modifying the admin page myself to have a “if_preview_set” and then set all the input boxes to the value of the POST vars, and adding a “Preview” submit button on the write page that loads the write page with that if_preview_set tag set to on. I’d think this would be a fairly easy fix/way to get REAL previews to work.
