Post Status field is not-intuitive #26

Been meaning to fix this forever...

Currently you enter a text value for post status. A lot of times people enter "Published" then the created posts don't show in the back-end. Why? There is no post status registred called "Published" or even "Publish". The correct value for that setting would be "publish".

Best solution would be to change it to a dropdown of registred post statuses. But that's not backwards compatible and also means you could not use a magic tag...
