Got Drafts? Filter.

Some of us bloggers have a few hundred drafts sitting in our WordPress accounts waiting for the right words or the right time. Hundreds you say? Yup. We’re not naming any names, but you know who you are.

We used to just list all your drafts in your blog’s Manage -> Posts screen. For some of us, that got really hairy really fast.

Now, your drafts can be displayed in a nice table by going to Manage -> Posts and selecting “Draft” from the “Post Type…” dropdown. If you have lots, they’ll be spread over several pages.

This seems way more sane to us.

But wait, it gets better. You can also filter that list of posts by search term, month, and category (just like before) and now by post type and author too. What’s even better is that, unlike before, you can filter on any combination of those things all at once. It should be way easier now for you to find that esoteric piece on Afghan cheeses you wrote back in March of 2006.
