I could find no suitable draft functionality for my site, so I decided to create my own. I approached this in a simple manner.

1) Allow users to access posts that they submitted to be moderated. Thus, they can save them and access them later to keep editing. How you notify the moderator that the post is ready for publishing is up to you. We simply use DRAFT in the subject.

2) When a node goes from unpublished to published, update the create time to ensure it goes to the top of the list.

Very simple, yet effective.

Forgot to mention how user's access their draft entries. This mod allows them to go to "My Blog" to see their unpublished entries to keep editing.

Looks like this is a duplicate of #10155: Ability to save a node as draft.
