Comment (by nvartolomei):

 You just have to look if option exists, if not, just use default option
 without having to write database and then to read it again to use option.

 preview event settings are not saved because this action is not called.

 start to develop themes in more professional way, because now I think some
 of them just use update_option function to insert a data for knowing if
 settings were saved or not.
