    Checking my Google Analytics this morning, it showed several hits on this page on my blog:

    blog.cyberquill.com/index.php?p=12678&preview=true

    While that post is live now, it was still an unpublished draft at the time it appears to have been accessed.

    Now I see that yet another draft of mine has been viewed.

    How is this possible?

    OK, here’s what’s going on:

    Those hits appear to be my own. Although I’ve blocked my own IP in Google Analytics so that my own hits on my own website aren’t counted in my Analytics reports, the IP block appears to fail when I access my own WP Drafts in Preview.

    When I access all other pages on my site, the IP block works. But not for my WP Preview pages.
