Future-Dating A Post -- NEW!

Create the illusion of "being there".!

Future Dating of posts is now available from Blogger Click here to see Blogger's instructions about it! Now you can leave some posts lined up when you are about to leave on vacation or for a month in jail and they will publilsh, one or more every day, while you're absent. So many people have inquired about this for the past five years that I suppose a lot of people will now praise the lord and send their checks (as usual) to the nation's poor. I have heard a great many complaints about how it "doesn't work", yet I don't think I've had a single one fail to publish. Admittedly, I am using the "future-publishing" on a more infrequent basis than some people. I doubt I ever use it more than 2 or 3 times a week. [More below...] There doesn't appear to be any difficult moves added to the Publishing process. It works the way many of us used to think would just be logical. One could always use the Post Options to change the date to anything you liked, but there was no automatic publishing--you always had to come back and hit the publish "button" on that date. 1. Give a date and time in Post Options for tomorrow, next week, or whenever 2. Then hit Publish, 3. The system will show a sign that says the post will be automatically published on X date at X time. 4. the system will wait until that date and time to publish it. Couldn't be simpler, unless they screw it up. If they screw it up, let me know.

Can't Publish And Going Crazy!

CLASSIC BLOGGER:

Even Blogger has admitted they're having trouble on some servers (probably many) and it's their fault you can't publish correctly.That doesn't help much, though. From my experience (3 years now) with Blogger, I think it's likely that you're not losing any posts, though it can happen (infrequently).

There's not much to do for now, except to keep in mind that sometimes if you log out, then log in again, Blogger claims that you may end up on a different server, one that's working as far as publishing. You can try that, but maybe you already have. In which case, you're sunk. Blogger Support will reply to your message, though they often tell you that you're on your own or that they are working on it really hard! My Blogger server(s) have been working well all this time the past couple of years, but I've had the same problems in the past.

"Zero" publishing: Sometimes when it's "stuck" it's truly stuck. But I used to be able to wiggle out of it sometimes by hitting the Back button (then copying my post if I already hadn't for safety), then hitting Publish again. I'd let it revolve 2 or 3 times at most, then do it all over again. Sometimes it failed. But sometimes it worked. It would be a good idea to report it to Blogger, even though they might not answer swiftly.


Even with Blogger being free, it often makes you feel like somebody hates you! Good luck and don't kill anything human.
