 * Hello. I understand I can copy the text of a post I have already published, delete
   that post, and repost it later if I want using that text. But then the date would
   be changed. Is it possible to take a post off your blog temporarily, while you
   edit or decide you whether or not you like it or for whatever other reason, then
   make it visible again?
 * I found the plugin, hide or cut post text, but as it shows last update was April
   of 05, I don’t know if it will work for WordPress 2.2. From the comments at the
   authors archives I think it may not be.
 * Is there now a built in feature that will accomplish this? Thanks so much!

 * Don’t you have the Post status option on the right when editing?
    Make it private
   or draft… then publish again.
