Puzzle: once in a while, but only on longer posts (800+ words). Copyedit: always. Print: Never Second Opinion: usually. It is my feeling that editing your work is a must, as whatever you put up will be a reflection of you. So, much in the same way that you comb your hair before leaving the house in the morning, it's important that you comb your post for errors before presenting it to the public. Here’s the cole’s notes:

Instead, I tend to find ways to make the idea flow better, and cut down extra verbiage. I also try to pare down self-references (unless it's important to the post). I want to write in a way that feels inclusive to the reader. I do this all in googledocs, so no dead trees. No second opinions, either :-).
