I have a Wordpress where I post short stories I write. It's not popular, mostly just family and a few random people follow it. Occasionally, I want decide I want to further work on something I posted and try to get it published, and will remove the post with that story. Is it a problem that I ever had it posted? I'm not sure if publishers could see that it was posted at one time, and might not like that. Or, would I be okay to keep it up on my blog when submitting it, then just taking it down if it were to get accepted for publication? Are there general rules for this type of thing?

Does it change if I want to post snippets from a novel I'm writing, or should I just avoid posting anything at all from that since I plan to pursue publication once I'm finished with it?
