    Hi to all,
    I am after a feature. I have no particular blogging software preference, I use joomla and WP, but could go to any system that has this feature.

    What I want to do is be able to either mass import, or store a whole heap of blogs in a database somehow, and have them publish for public viewing one at a time from these stored blogs.
    Basically, I want to write 30 blog posts on a topic and be able to have them auto publish, one at a time, over 30 days.

    Does the above make sense?

    Is this a feature that is available with a script somewhere?

    Every search for auto blog posting etc comes up with RSS feeds etc which is not what I am looking for.

    Wordpress has a time feature that allows you to set when any particular post will be published. This sounds like what you're looking for. It comes standard with every Wordpress installation.

    Thankyou, its called Post Timestamp. I just had to look and google harder.

    From here.

    Post Options - Post Timestamp

    Normally when you click Publish the post you wrote gets published immediately. You may want to change that though.

    Posting to the Past
    Check the box in the Post Timestamp area and set the time and date of the post to a time before now. Click Publish. The post will publish immediately but it will be back in your blog, not on the front of your blog.

    Posting to the Future
    Check the box in that area and set the time and date in the future. Now click Publish. The post will NOT be published until the time and date you set. At that time it will appear automatically.
