Scheduled Wordpress Blog Postings

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by theultimatepublishing, Aug 16, 2006.

    I've got a number of pre-written articles. How do I schedule my blog posts?

    I've got a fantastic report from:
    www(dot)top10tricks(dot)com/report/wordpress-seo

    Included with the report was an autopost script which didn't work for me.

    Is there anyone using the same script?

    On the time stamp section of the Write page, select "edit timestamp" and then put what date and time you'd like it to be shown. If it's in the future, then it gets scheduled.

    Based on the time you've set in "Options".

    One big reason is so that you can maintain a fixed posting schedule and frequency when your well is dry. For example, sometimes you get a burst of inspiration and you have ideas for several posts, and on other days you have writer's block.

    By scheduling posts for future dates, you can dole them out gradually. This also works when you want to go on vacation - you can still keep up an appearance of posting regularly even though you are away somewhere on a deserted island with no Internet (as if!). :D

    This of course does not apply if your blog material is time-sensitive or you post scoops mainly.

    I don't have the Internet at my dad's house, though I do at my mom's. But since I'm not at her house all time I tend to schedule updates to make it look as if my blog is actually rather active ^^;;
