Where a post originates is one of the few things we can’t change. We can rewrite headlines, fix misspellings. But when a post is live, we do not unpublish — except when approved by an online team member — or move to another blog. (If you make a mistake, you can direct posts to any blog using directional tags. Find them with the newsroom homepage’s “Directional Tags” link.)
