 Hi All,

 I was wondering if there was a way of implementing a box or something that
 prevents emails from being sent out to subscribers should the site still
 be on it's holding page.

 Basically, in editing the posts associated with the Manchester WordCamp
 site (http://manchester.wordcamp.org/2015), I edited the Call for Sponsors
 page and accidentally hit publish. I then immediately returned it to draft
 as it wasn't ready, but potential sponsors did read it and offer to
 sponsor the camp.

 It's a nice problem to have :) - but I feel that potential sponsors could
 be put off if they go to the site and cannot see anything but the holding
 page (a couple of people mentioned it).
