Scheduled blog posts on blogger

I'm slowing tranferring this blog from wordpress to blogger as you can tell. Some of the items I wanted to write about I really couldn't do to the restrictions that wordpress had. I didn't want to 'buy' software from wordpress an able to do this. I have a number of friends that blog here, and they have had much success. Java was another biggie that isn't allowed on the 'free' wordpress, and I'm sorry I like to use java on occasion!

One of the issues I do miss from wordpress is scheduling posts to go out when I want them to. Personally, the blogger format can be misleading when you can place some date on your blog post - only to find out it posts right away.

I like to schedule blog posts because some days I'm in the writing mood, and other days WELL......lol forget it! I just don't have the drive! Its better to concentrate on other areas. Its much better when you blog on a regular basis, but I also have to remember to go back and unrelease a draft instead of it going live when I want it to.

Blogger has released "Blogger In Draft" now.

They commented:

We’ve often heard that sometimes you’d like to write a post now and have it automatically published at some time in the future. We listened, and are pleased to say that this feature is ready for you to try out on Blogger in draft.

Publishing a post in the future is pretty simple: in the post editor, reveal the Date and Time fields using the “Post Options” toggle and 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.

Your scheduled posts appear in your Edit Posts list alongside your drafts and published posts. To un-schedule a post, simply save it as a draft any time before it gets published.

Remember: Like all features described on this blog, Scheduled Posts only work when you’ve logged in to http://draft.blogger.com/.

Additional Notes:


We know that some bloggers currently use future post dates in order to keep one post at the top of their blog for a while. Though we recommend that you use a Text page element for this, you can still get this old behavior with just one additional step. First, publish your post with the current date and time. This will publish it to your blog. Then, once it’s published, edit the post to change the date to the future and publish it again. We don’t re-schedule posts that are already published, so the post will stay on your blog but sort to the very top.

As with published posts, the post editor does not autosave scheduled posts if you go back and edit them. You wouldn’t want the post to publish while you’re in the middle of editing it! You can save the scheduled post as a draft to remove the scheduling and this will turn autosave back on.

In some testing we’ve found that schedule posting is not working for some FTP blogs. If you run across this, please let us know in the comments so we can try to track it down.
