Thank You, ActiveRain, for Making My Crazy Life Simpler!

 

Thank you so much for taking care of me.  Now, I can write blog posts to publish later. 

 

For instance, I just got home a bit ago, and I had to feed the dog and the cats and start dinner.

 

I have a few minutes while the oven is warming up, and I can take a few minutes to express my gratitude for being able to write when I have time, and put a forward publish date on the post.

 

Not only is it done automatically, but I get the points immediately.  Now, if I could do this for comments, too, I would be in really great shape!

 

Thank you again, ActiveRain, for thinking of all the busy people (brokers, agents, lending officers, stagers, service providers, etc.) that love to interact but find it hard to find the time to remember to publish those drafts.  This is so simple even I can do it.

 

 

Thank you, ActiveRain, for Making My Crazy Life Simpler!

Hoping it works better than the last time.  I could never get posts to show up at the right time.

  I saw that option, but did not even try it, based upon "last time".  I hope they finally got it into proper working order!

My advice?  Not that you asked for it, but remember when you save it to publish later, it is Pacific Time, not necessarily your time zone, but it works GREAT!

Suzanne, I tried it knowing it was Pacific time and the blog didn't publish.  I'll try it again and let you know if I have problems.

Suzanne - I have not tried it yet.  I remember doing a draft the night before and making it public in the morning.  It was buried.  Since then I do them offline.  Glad this is working again.

Like Bill said...this feature was always there, but it didn't work right. I'm afraid to use it. Maybe you can give us a review in a later post and let us know that it does indeed work the way it should.

Hi Suzanne, so far I'm liking the new features, having a bit of trouble with the short url but I think it's with my new computer, I'm sure there's something I need to download.

Sounds to me like the only real differnce is that you get points immediately...sure that will end up in lost points somehow, someway down the road.  Oh...and you get to periodically save which I love.

Now if I could just find some time to write some posts.  Between errands and CMAs today I was way behind on marketing and blogging.

Suzanne two steps forward one step backwards...the pessimistic in me looks back to the past and says OK for how long? The optimist in me says thank you...The realist in me says take advantage of it before the "fix it again", Endre

Hi Suzanne - So I just published one that I wrote several days ago and had in draft, and it showed up at the top of the regular blog roll, but unfortunately is still getting buried in the groups. sigh.

It truly is an asset to be able to draft a post and even schedule it for later. I haven't used that function yet, but suspect I will at times when I am traveling.

I haven't tried this yet, but as you say, it is easier sometimes to write when it's quiet and post later.  Thanks for the tip!

Hi Suzanne, Some how I missed this post and just saw it. I have not tried the post later feature yet but I have used the draft feature which works really good now. I will try the publish later after reading your post! Have a great one.
