Comment (by lessbloat):

 I started another round of post formats usability tests, but stopped after
 the first one.  I was testing trunk with #24046 and #24062 applied.

 '''Tasks:'''

 1. Login
 2. Look at the Dashboard and get to add post from toolbar
 3. Add a (standard) blog post with title and text
 4. Preview your blog
 5. Add an image blog post, with image from a URL
 6. Add a video post, with YouTube video URL provided
 7. Add a link blog post
 8. Add a quote blog post
 9. Add a gallery post
 10. Preview your blog again to see all the posts

 '''Test 9:'''  http://wpusertesting.com/videos/DC7-9.mp4

 1. At 1:13, she wondered where the buttons went, but it didn't deter her
 for long.
 2. Fine
 3. Fine
 4. Fine
 5. She did everything that was expected, but when she published the post,
 it didn't really publish.
 6. She did everything that was expected (except she mistyped the video
 URL), but when she published the post, it didn't really publish.
 7. Fine
 8. 6:55 - "I like these buttons here on the top" she says about the post
 format buttons :-)
 9. Fine
 10. Fine

 Observations:

 From a UX perspective, this seemed to work flawlessly! Unfortunately, a
 couple of bugs were surfaced with this test:

 1) Select image format -> Enter Link URL without entering a title -> Click
 publish -> Success message says the post was published -> but if you click
 "View post" you get a 404, and if you click "All posts" the post isn't
 there.[[BR]]
 2) Select video format -> Enter Video URL without entering a title ->
 Click publish -> Success message says the post was published (and if you
 enter a valid video URL, it shows up embedded in the right spot on the
 page) -> but if you click "View post" you get a 404, and if you click "All
 posts" the post isn't there.[[BR]]
 3) Select image format -> Enter a title -> Enter Link URL -> Click publish
 -> The post is published, but there is no image.[[BR]]
 4) Select quote format -> Enter a quote without entering a title -> Click
 publish -> Success message says the post was published -> but if you click
 "View post" you get a 404, and if you click "All posts" the post isn't
 there.

 I verified all of these on my local install.  1, 2 & 4 seem to all be
 related to not having a title.

 So, this looks very promising, but I'd like to address these bugs first,
 before running any additional users through.
