I am testing a new feature. Please forgive the intrusion.

Previously, we were very cavalier about whether or not to include a post in the RSS feed. We would include it as soon as it got a title. But that might not be optimal. Maybe we don't want it in the feed at that time? Maybe we never want to include it in the feed?

And if we never include it in a feed, why shouldn't it have a story page? They are useful, even for items that are not yet published. Maybe I want to send someone a pointer to the post? This change will pave the way for that possibility. 

Bottom-line: It is now more predictable for the author as to when an item appears in a feed, if ever. I can give an item a title, and until I choose the Publish command in the popup menu, it won't appear in the feed. I am going to test that now. check

Now I'm going to Publish it. And it should then appear in the feed. check

This feature is good-to-go.
