on the blog page have auto save

I'd love it if there was auto save when writing a blog post. I'm constantly having to save after every paragraph.

That's a great suggestion! Why not suggest that here on our "Vote on Features" board:

LCSmith you should NOT need to save after adding a paragraph. While there is a Save button, which allows you to stop editing the post, the editor should be saving the changes as you go.

If something is causing you to have to save after every change, you may want to try clearing your browser cache.. or try another browser, to see if that helps. If you continue to have problems with text, for example; make sure you are not copying and pasting text from an external program like Microsolft Word.

P.s.. The 'Save' button is actually a new thing on the blog pages. It use to be just a 'Close' button, and the editor's would still auto-save.

Also, LCSmith, one thing to consider when creating your blog posts is that the auto-save function doesn't save an element you've added to the post until you've clicked outside the element.  For example, if you drag a text element to the page and add your text, once you click outside that text box it automatically saves, but not until then.

For that reason, and for flexibility when laying out your post, I recommend you break up your text so that each paragraph is in its own text element.  That will ensure it's frequently auto-saving and you'll be able to re-arrange the layout with ease, particularly if you decide to add more images between paragraphs afterward.

Thanks so much for your input and I hope my suggestion helps!
