Wordpress: How to write today and post automatically in the future

Trying to keep up with your blogs while you are on vacation can be a daunting task. Not that I have been on vacation anytime lately. But if I ever was on a vacation, I would want my blog to post while I was on vacation so my readers wouldn't miss me. I stumbled upon a post that showed me how but forgot to book mark it so they would get some link love.

You always worry about losing your traffic because you neglect to post on your blog...now you don't have to worry...just do it ahead of time.

Here's how you do it. First and foremost you have to write your post ahead of time. We'll keep it simple with one, but it works for multiple post.

Write your post.
When you are done and ready to save, here's what you do 1st. (very simple)
Edit time stamp box to the date and time you want to automatically post
Click Publish on the Post Status Section
Click Save (NOT PUBLISH)

Wahlah...your post will automatically post on the date and time that you save it.

Chipped Beef? Chipped ham, maybe? LOL

Did I hear Chipped Salmon was being served on bagels this morning? I read that last night at hockey surrounded by my gaggle of PBG'ers and thought it wasn't right. Since I'm from "over there" i wasn't sure. Wait, I'm from over there with Cleveland Carol!

Wow, this is neat. I skipped the comments to comment, and am wondering if I should read the other comments...chipped beef, chipped ham, and chipped salmon sound pretty gross.

I do have a wordpress.com blog - not one on my own website but one of theirs. I haven't done as much with it as I would like as I haven't had time, but hopefully this tip will work with their free blog?

Cool tip - will this help me displace other posts - change the order of an older post? That is one thing I would like to do - the other is replace "just another wordpress.com blog" blurb...is that possible? Thanks for the info here!

Yes, you can reorder the sequence by changing the dates on the post. Just edit the date.

Thanks, Bob. I am one who has 'spurts' and then times when I don't have time to write. Also, as you pointed out, it would help the long ones so they wouldn't be so wordy.

Good luck. The interface has changed a little bit (they made it easier) on Wordpress but for the most part the idea still happens.
