Caution about Blogging a Novel

I found a great blog/site with some great advice about dealing with NaNoWriMo. Tip 5 answered my questions about blogging the actual novel on this blog and if its considered publishing. The answer is YES! Publishers consider it "self-publishing", "previously published", and "a first print" and will have no interest in the novel. Excerpts are allowed though so I might tease all of you with bits and pieces, leaving you wanting more.

Thanks Debra for the tips and information.

NaNoWriMo Forums Tips:
Approximately 1667 words a day will get you finished on the 30th. Yikes! I'll try ;)
6 to 7 pages a day!

"I actually doubled word count per hour using these tricks last year. If you have any tricks, please post!
1) Never capitalize first words or "I" to eliminate shifts. (Word's autocorrect will fix it as you go.)
2) Use a single-character code for names (people, cities, etc.) So instead of typing Alexandria a hundred times, type x. Instead of Mr. Willis, type m w. Do a global replace later if you actually plan to read it. (Cheaters can always replace x with "The Royal Princess Adrienne Catherine Marie Lapinsky" to up word count.)
3) If you can't remember a word or place name or whatever, instead of stopping to think about it, type in a filler word or description. Instead of "mast" just type "that tall pole that sticks up in the middle of a sailboat" and move on.
4) Never backspace! Ignore typos and every awful thing you're tempted to delete. Just keep typing!"
Great Advice!

US manuscript standard(?): 250 words per page, 12-point Courier, double-spaced, 1 inch margin on all sides (not verified but I'll use it)

UPDATE:
50000 /175= 286 words per page hmmmm....
