How to Schedule a Post on WordPress

Want to know how to schedule a post on your WordPress blog? Well, it’s very simple and I’m going to show you how to do it.

If you’re wondering why you would want to schedule a post on your blog there are a few reasons. If you are going to be out of town or on vacation, you know you have a very busy day or week coming up, you aren’t feeling well and know you might actually be getting sick, you are going in for surgery … or maybe you’re just feeling very productive one day … but instead of posting several times in a day you’d rather draw them out over time … whatever the reason it’s a very convenient feature so let’s get down to business.

Go ahead and write your post as you usually would and when you’re finished be sure you click the “save” button. Then look in the right hand column and find where it says, ”Publish immediately”.

Click the “Edit” text link next to Publish Immediately to reveal the timestamp options.

Then enter the date and time that you want the post to actually appear on your blog. You can choose a date that is days or even weeks away … pretty sweet huh? 

Once you have done this, go back to the post and click “Publish”. Your post will automatically post on the date and time you’ve selected.

You can even edit an unpublished post’s timestamp.

So there you go … you are free to go on vacation and relax … and no one will be the wiser! Just be sure you send me pictures as a “thank you.” *SmiLes* Suzanne
