Everyone who’s tried the new “After the Deadline” proofreading tool seems to be unanimous: It’s the best way imaginable to check your spelling, grammar, and word usage. Only problem is, if you’re anything like me, you probably hit publish before you remember to hit the proofread button.

Well, the good folks who created AtD have come up with a solution: A setting to make sure you auto-proofread all your posts. To enable this just go to the bar at the top of InJersey and navigate to your profile page.

There you’ll see this:

When enabled, this feature will run AtD against your post (or page) before a publish or update. If any errors are found, you’ll be prompted with a dialog:

If you want to publish, click OK. Otherwise click Cancel to interact with the errors and make your changes.

The next time you hit Publish your post will go through.
