 * I prematurely published a Post before it was complete. I would like to place 
   it back into a draft status so an incomplete post is not appearing on my website.
   My website is [http://2foodieheads.com](http://2foodieheads.com) and the post
   is the one for Delicia restaurant.
 * Thanks – Joel
 * PS I may have sent this request before but I didn’t see it so I am repeating 
   it.

 * Hi there,
 * From your dashboard, go to Posts > All Posts, hover under the post name and click“
   Quick Edit”. Change the post status from “Published” to “Draft”, and click “Update”.

 * Thanks – that was so simple I feel a little foolish, but it worked so thanks 
   for taking the time to lead a blind squirrel to the acorn.
