Add auto-save and live preview to blog posts

• Definitely add the auto-save feature when creating/updating a blog post.
  • Client-side JavaScript would send Textile blog post markup to the server (like hitting the post button) at regular intervals.
  • Save interval: every five minutes? That would create a lot of versions, but who cares? The key is saving content.

• Less important, do something similar to Ghost where the writing screen is enlarged, at least on larger screens like laptops, desktops, and maybe tablets.
  • /microblogpost/1227
  • The writing area goes beyond the standard CSS "sitewide" definition."
  • Writing/previewing area would use approx 900 to 1000px wide or wider.
  • Split vertical split screen.
  • Left pane would be the writing/Textile textarea box.
  • Right pane would be the live preview.
    • Preview, however, may not update with each keystroke. May not want that much complexity and JavaScript code. That would require a Textile and Junco translator in the browser.
    • Preview pane would update when user hit preview button. The left pane would not change, but the right pane would update.
    • Preview pane would update when the auto-save executes every five minutes.
