How do you write posts and publish later?

[martyn11post]

Hopefully this is quite simple to do.

Basicly I want to write several posts on Sunday (for example 7), and have them published at a later date automatically (Sun, Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun).

I'm using Wordpress.

How can you do it!

Cheers,
Martyn :)

Well, since you are using wordpress, then yes it is quite simple to do. When you are writing your post, look on the right hand side of the screen. There should be a blue bar that says "Post Timestamp". If you expand that, you can set the timestamp to some date in the future. When that day/time comes, your post will automatically publish live.

I didn't know how to do that either. Will come in handy when I know I'm going to be away for a while. Thanks :)

Now that you've given my plan away it won't!! ;)

Thanks Jeremy, cheers for the advice.

It will be very useful and no it won't be used as a alibi, i hope :) lol.

This is my one and only complaint about Blogger because you can't do it. You can write the posts ahead, save them as drafts, and then publish them manually on those days.....or you can change the date to a date in the future, but they post immediately and just show the future date. Sadness. :(

Ah the problems of using free hosting eh?

Nah, not in general. And I host my own domain elsewhere and actually 'like' using the Blogger setup, so that's why I stayed with them even when I moved. Wordpress has free versions, too, and offers that option....and Blogger offers a lot of things that Wordpress doesn't, along with other various blogging type hosts. This just happens to be one of the things I sacrifice for all the other benefits of continuing to use Blogger.

I didn't know blogger could go on a private host. I learned something new today. Thats what happens when I open my big mouth and didn't know something.
