Schedule Posts in Blogger


We can write a post now and have it automatically published at some time in the future. The Scheduling of posts from today's date is now available in Blogger.com.We can try this feature on Blogger in draft.

The Scheduling of Posts is available under the blogger widget name "Schedule Posts". The Steps to be followed for publishing a post in the future is pretty simple

-- First Login your blogger account in http://draft.blogger.com instead of http://blogger.com.

-- In the post editor, write your post content and before posting see the "Post Options" available at bottom of Post Editor.

-- In the Post Options, there are 2 options, first being Automatic Date and Time and second being Scheduled Date and Time.

-- In the Scheduled Date and Time enter a post date and time that is in the future. When you then click the “Publish” button, your post will become “scheduled.” When the date and time of the post arrive, your post will be automatically published to your blog.

-- To cancel a scheduled post, Go to Edit Posts, select the scheduled post in "Edit Mode" and save it as Draft. Thus the scheduled becomes a normal post and post is being published immediately.

The Scheduled posts feature works well when You have logged your Blogger account in http://draft.blogger.com

Advantages of Scheduled Posts in Blogger :

* Some bloggers currently use future post dates in order to keep one post at the top of their blog for a while. First they can publish the post with the current date and time. This will publish it to their blog. Then, once it’s published, edit the post to change the date to the future and publish it again.

* Published posts can be re-scheduled so the post will stay on your blog but sort to the very top.
