Let me stress and repeat: I am NOT saying drupal can't be used for a pure 
publishing platform, i've been using it as such for almost 4 years now! I've 
ben running a my company around this concept for the last 3 years!

I am saying, I repeat: There are other tools around that do a better job, IF 
ALL YOU NEED IS A SIMPLE PUBLISHING PLATFORM.

So don't get snappy on me for telling people there are alternatves to Drupal.
There are. Wordpress IS a better blogging tool for Bob Blogger, if you can't 
live with that fact, ask Gerhard, if then you are still not convinced then 
look at the figures.

So why should we tell people who ask questions as 'how do I preview the 
homepage the way my users see it' that Drupal Is NOT up to this task? I 
prefer to tell them fair an honoust that some other OSS tools ARE up to this 
task, simply because their whole existence is built arount this very 
publishing concept, while Drupal's power lies in the fact that it is NOT.

Read this: http://typo3.org/about/new-to-typo3/ paragraph about 3/4th of the 
page. And my reaction to that. http://webschuur.com/node/480
