Auto Posting in Wordpress with the Post Timestamp Feature

May 11th, 2007

Surprisingly, a lot of people aren’t aware that Wordpress has a feature that allows you to post-date your blog posts. Let’s say you have one blog and you like to keep it current with at least one post every day. But what happens when you go away for a few days? Or maybe you’ve been holed up in bed with the flu.

Save time for yourself and post all your week’s posts at once, then just spread them out throughout the week with the auto post feature. I do this all the time. I don’t know what I would do without it, especially when I know I’ll be busy during the rest of the week with other things.

It couldn’t be easier to use. Simply check the ‘edit timestamp’ box, and enter the date and time that you would like Wordpress to post the entry. Awesome hey? After you hit ‘Publish’ you won’t see your new post on your blog until the time you set it for, but you can still edit the post it in your Manage menu.
