(bug): publishing a blog that was saved as a draft or "unlisted" does not generate activity post
Summary
Many bloggers like to save drafts or publish blogs as unlisted before making them public so they can work on them. If you save a draft, or publish as unlisted, and eventually try to publish the blog to public, then it does not generate an activity post.
Steps to reproduce
-
Write a blog
-
Save as draft (can try doing this twice)
-
go back to edit blog and publish as public.
-
No activity post created
-
Write a blog
-
Publish as unlisted
-
go back and edit blog and publish as public
-
no activity post created

What is the expected correct behavior?
An activity post should be created everytime you publish a blog as "Pubic" no matter what the state of the blog was prior.

I'm not able to reproduce this bug report in production or dev environment.
What I do see in production is when blog posts have been created in draft they don't appear in the 'blog' sidebar of my page. This does not happen in dev environment.
I captured the URL slug of the draft blogs to get back to them, edit and then publish. Once published they appeared in my newsfeed.

If I visit https://www.minds.com/guythouret/blogs I see all posts, draft and published.
