 * I just noticed that there are two posts showing as drafts, although both have
   already been published. I cannot find a way to delete the phantom drafts. How
   is that done?

 * Well you can view your drafts in two areas. Under the “Write” and “Manage” navigations.
   You will see at the very top “Your Drafts” and links to each of your drafts. 
   Realize that there will always be one in there but if you have multiple you can
   select one and it will bring you to the write page. If you scroll to the bottom
   under “Custome Field” you will see a button that should say “Delete Post.”
 * I had multiple drafts also at one point 🙂

 * Easily overlooked. I personally think it should be next to the same buttons where
   you save and publish your posts. Glad to help though.
