Adding the links you mention just above the input box seems like a good idea, but NOT because I believe we'll get much "mileage" out of doing so (emphasis on "much").

I suspect that once noobs with a problems get to the text-input box, everything except getting their plea for help published falls by the wayside.

As to "enter title last," I'd hate to encourage that; what you're doing sounds to me like an expensive way of previewing your content.

And did Valentine B. give you the money he owes me?
