How to delegate blog publishing

Delegate blog publishing by handing your hire the finished draft and a publishing checklist. They format the post in your CMS, add headings, images with alt text, internal links, the meta title and description, and the right category, then preview, publish, and share it. You write or approve the words; they handle everything after.
