Paul talked about it back in February, but it's finally here. The feature that users of Moveable Type and WordPress have been enjoying for a quite a while now, future posting, is now available to all users on Blogger's platform for standalone sites as well as BlogSpot.com accounts. The announcement was made on Blogger Buzz today:
Scheduled post publishing, which we talked about testing on Blogger in draft last month, is now live for everyone. If you set a post’s date into the future, Blogger will wait to publish until that time comes.
Have you ever wanted to announce something on a certain date but knew you wouldn’t be at a computer to make a post? Or you wanted to keep posting regularly but knew you’d be on vacation for a few weeks? Scheduled post publishing is here to help you out.
The feature is especially useful for bloggers that deal with press embargoes on a regular basis - allowing you to write up the event ahead of time and have it post at embargo time, without worrying about staying up until 1 AM Pacific time and hit the publish button.
