Reorder Post-Entry's crosspost/show-entry steps in workflow

Title:
Reorder Post-Entry's crosspost/show-entry steps in workflow

Area:
crossposting, add/edit entry workflow

Summary:
On the "Post an Entry" page, move crosspost option to AFTER "Show this Entry to" selection.

Description:
The Post-an-Entry page groups the crosspost option into the stage of the workflow associated with meta (location, music, rating, etc), which labels the post in some way but does not affect how/where the post is published. The crosspost setting does affect publication, and therefore belongs in the final 'publish' stage as a logical continuation/clarification of the "show this entry to" selection.

Additionally, if the user gets to the final/publish stage and decides to limit the post's outlets (ie access, filter, private), opting to undo any auto-crosspost currently requires moving *backwards*; hard enough for habit-driven mouse-users but especially problematic if you rely strongly on a keyboard or are using a screen-reader. Putting cross-posting after the publishing step makes it the logical final step.

This suggestion is applicable mostly for the purposes of discussion & information before eventual overhaul; if you have comments, please feel free. See also Denise's comment (below) as to her intentions.

Title:
Retitle button & window on Edit Reply screen

Area:
Editing Comment Replies

Summary:
"Edit comment" is ambiguous, replace with "Save edits"
Change window title from "Reply" to "Edit Comments"

Description:
I trip over this issue every time I use the edit entry feature, and triple-guess myself—this may be unique to my memory issues, but it might also help others.

When I choose "Edit" under a reply I've submitted, 2 items are ambiguous.

#1. The window title is now "Reply." Change to "Edit Comment."

#2. The save my work button is "Edit Comment." These words *can mean* "click this button to start editing the comment," although its current action is "submit & display my edits." I suggestion this button read "Save edits" or "Update reply"

These suggestions follow the pattern used in "Edit entry." The action link is labelled "Edit Entry," the window is titled "Edit Entries," and the "save my work" button is labelled "Save." I'm hoping to minimize confusion and increase consistency.
