Also make it clearer that we usually do basic proof reading done in advance to speed up the PR review (often with Google Docs but need not be).

Currently we have had to manually remove the draft: true line as part of PR review (eg #172) or right afterwards when we notice the post hasn't gone live (eg #139).

Q: Provided the post has already been proof-read then there should only be a short delay (a few days) before these being merged, but should the template suggest future dating the post anticipating this?

Also want basic proof reading in advance to speed up the PR review.

Applied with tweak - I do not want to mandate Google Docs in particular.

4. View template raw, and Copy and paste all the contents of this template into the new file.
5. Replace the placeholder text (date, title, author, content, image name, etc.) with your actual blog content.
6. Remove the `draft: true` line (we don't want the template published, we do want your post published).

I don't get what this means about the template being published.

We do not want the YYYY-MM-DD-event-fellowship-blog-template.md page live and visible on the website.

Evidently my attempt at clarity needs improving...
