 Was talking with Matt and Andy about how most people using WordPress will
 view their blog's front page after publishing, and might discover a typo
 or other thing that needs correcting.

 I do that myself, and I've watched other people use WordPress, and they do
 the exact same thing.  So instead of making them click through to the
 front page, why not just show it in an iframe view (exactly like the
 iframe preview) directly under the success message?  There could also be
 edit links above and below the preview in case a mistake is made.

 Matt (and Zeldman) made the good point that the iframe preview helps,
 because it is easier to spot mistakes when the info is presented in your
 layout... but I think there is also a mental issue at play that leads
 people to catch more typos after publishing, even if there were using the
 iframe preview to try and catch them.  You simply look harder for errors
 when you know that something is currently visible to the entire world.

 Any thoughts on this?
