My site administrators are having problems with the automatic URL generation. What happens is it sometimes takes a few seconds for the generated URL to populate and they end up saving a page before the URL field is populated. This problem is noticed most often with blog posts, because the URL defaults to blank and they end up with a blog post that looks normal in the list of posts, but when they click the post, they are taken to the home page (URL gets saved as ~/).

My thought is that blog posts need to have a default URL other than blank, and/or there needs to be a warning if the URL is blank, or validation that it has a value. I've tried to train site administrators to wait for the URL to get populated, but I even find myself forgetting this and saving pages without a URL.

Thanks! That sounds like a good solution. I find that users often put in their blog content before specifying a title. And in my experience, if there is a way for users to break software, they will find it. :-)
