I must confess, one of the features of the new Wordpress that has directly contributed to the vitality of my resurrected blog is the “scheduled post” feature. Basically, I can write several posts at once when my creativity is high (typically on the weekends, when my mind is fresh and clean instead of worn out from a long day of selling my creativity for money)—and then schedule them to be posted on some day in the future.
Lately, I’ve been writing a week’s batch at once, then setting them to publish every other day throughout the week. This is handy because it only takes three posts two get through a week, and it also leaves every other day available in case I see something interesting that I want to publish right then. Otherwise, if creativity strikes during the week (or something vaguely interesting happens in my life), I just add it to the end of the scheduled posts queue. I’m writing this post, for example, more than a week before it will actually get published.
It’s definitely a useful feature, in a number of different ways.
