And I also have a stash of blog entries in my drafts that might need a bit added to them or some editing before they see the public eye. And it is nice to be able to have some blog posts set to schedule in the future, especially if you are going on vacation or know you will be tied up with a client or a conference. ----------------- williamgeorge <a href="http://www.casualdate.net.au" rel="nofollow">Friends Dating</a> There are many times I will schedule blog posts for the future sometimes it is just written the day before I schedule it, other times, it could be set for a week or more in the future.

You're right. You can do it in Blogger. I did it quite by accident. I set the date and time right for here in NZ and the Blogger server thought it had to keep it on hold till the time-line spun a bit. Gave me a message to say so too. Nuisance really.

I just did this myself in preparing a post and 'future' (I thought) links to it and the access was immediate, not delayed, as I expected. So post-dating must just hide the link from the home page until the date specified.

How to do that? When do we need such a facility? I saw the same word twice in the 'Anti-spam word' in the comments area. I think it's not okay. Thank you.

I saw the same word twice in the ‘Anti-spam word’ in the comments area. I think it’s not okay.

Thank you.

My assumption is that the scheduling is done by me, not the computer. That's to say that a draft that carries tomorrow's date will not be published automatically tomorrow. As far as I know, Blogger has no facility to publish drafts automatically on a (pre)set date. So I think the 'date' field is simply a label in Blogger. That label is looked at by Blogger when the draft is published. So whatever date is there, the post will display it. What I haven't tried is posting a draft dated the day after tomorrow, today :-) I'll let you know when I do. That's why I said, "shades of Back to the Future". Am I making myself clear?

Especially for those days when you suddenly get that burst to write lots of posts -- generally with edubloggers it is better to stick to one post max. per day as some of our readers don't like excessive postings. @Ken So does that mean you can write now and schedule for a later date? @Meghna Knowing how to scheduling a post for a later date is handy to know.

@Ken So does that mean you can write now and schedule for a later date?
