Last week a friend who uses WordPress reminded me of a feature I had seen but never made any use of – scheduling posts to be published at a future date.

Never being short of things to say I have often built up a list of both blogs I want to write and blogs I have already written but not yet published. When Tony brought up the subject of scheduling posts it suddenly occurred to me that I was wasting my time writing posts in MS Word and then saving them until they were copied into WordPress. Why not, instead, put the post directly onto the site and just set it to be published at some future date. Far too obvious for me to have worked this out on my own.

As I’m now trying to do at least one post a day for the next year this, feature is even more useful and as I’ve started New Music Monday and Odd Tune of The Week it also means I can hear a piece of music and blog about it straight away, but have it pop up the following week. Well done WordPress for yet another quality feature.
