TOPIC: Blogging

I prepared a blog entry.  I want to do an entry whenever I think of a topic but I don't want to publish it yet.  I made the parent item "blogs."  Right now the blogs menu is disabled so I figured the new entry would be disabled as well.  Not so.  It just shows up as a page.  So I unpublished the entry as well.  It still shows up as a menu item with the difference being, now it says "Access denied. You are not authorized to access this page."  Does this mean I can't prepare blog entries without publishing them?
Thanks.

I figured it out.  Look mom...no help. 

LOL. So for the people who happen by this thread later on. What was the answer?

Yes, enquiring minds want to know. Please share that morsel with the rest of the class. That may come in handy.

Alright alright.  I'll tell you then.  It will be a bit of an anticlimax for you guys because I am almost dead for certain convinced (that's quite sure) it will not be something new to you.
There is a little box to check at the bottom of the menu settings if you want to delete the item from the menu.  Just "unpublishing" isn't enough.
That's it.

Actually if you unpublish and item it should only show in the menu to you when you're logged in. But not your visitors (though I'd have to double check, it's been awhile since I've tried). Clicking the delete will definitely do it too.
