Comments on: Schedule your posts for a future date – Blogger

I would like protest against scheduled posting method.

So, the idea of scheduled posting is great, but the realisation is poor.

The simpler and maybe the best way to do this is to insert a new scheduling date field next to the date field.

Now the date field functionality is too complicate:

a) dating
b) scheduling
c) URL generating
d) sorting
e) archiving

For example, if someone (like me) want to add a post with future date, can’t do it correctly.

If I publish it (as blogger team suggests) with current date and then repost it with a new date, then the URL of the post (and archive date) remain unchanged.

So the date of the post and the date in the link (and the archive) are different, and this mismatch is a problem for the blogger and the readers too.

Hi Rose,

Sometime I have time will schedule 2 to 3 posts for advance to avoid missing out any date. If no time, will post daily. I think the best way is post few posts in the weekend for advance posts.

As a user of Blogger I’m glad to see this feature being added.

I already use the draft option to post-date them. I have a few posts already written and put them in order of the days they will be posted so I can hit a button and it is done. Although the ability to have it autopost would be so much easier as it means I wont have to log in to do it. I still think I should have used WordPress though. Once I get round to buying the domain name I want, I will maybe move it all over.
