If you use Blogspot or Blogger to blog, you may have
wondered if there is a way to schedule when your posts are
published, especially when you want to head off for a few
well earned days of holiday season rest. There is a very
easy way to do this, following the steps outlined below.
!! Steps !!
Write your post normally. Then, do the following steps _before_
hitting "Publish".
Click the "Post Options" link above the Publish button. This
will allow you to change the options for reader comments, HTML
settings, and publish scheduling.
Change the "Post date and time" option to "Scheduled at".
* Change the date and time to your desired post time.
Press "Publish post". At this point, your blog post will go into a
queue and will not appear until the scheduled date and time. You can
add as many blog posts to the queue as wished. Keep tabs on your
scheduling. You can rely on the Blogger list itself (scheduled posts
are clearly shown, see image example) so that you know which blog
posts are coming up and which have already been published. If you
need to update anything before it is scheduled to appear, you'll be
able to locate it quickly and make changes.
* If you're scheduling because you're going away, it is helpful to
alert your readers to the fact that you're scheduling for holiday
reasons in case they wonder why you're not responding to their
comments.

!! Tips !!
* Scheduled posts can be amended any time before appearing. In
addition, if you change your mind about when the blog post is to
appear, you can either move the date and time, or put the post
back into your drafts folder.
* When scheduling posts, be sure to keep in mind your blog's theme,
and maintain a regularity that is sensitive to your reader's
needs. Avoid overwhelming them with a sudden rush of extra posts,
or leaving it too long between posts, or you might risk losing
readers while you're away.
!! Warnings !!
* Telling blog readers that you'll be away from your house can
create a risk if people are aware where you live; if so, tell them
the housesitter won't be answering blog comments for you!
