I learnt something new today about WordPress. I thought it would be useful to schedule a post to be published automatically at a specified time in the future – occasionally I knock up a few different posts the same day/evening and don’t really want to release them all at once but would prefer to save them to be published at intervals.

This facility is built right in to WordPress – just use the post timestamp facility and set a date + time in the future (making sure to tick the “Edit timestamp” box):

When you’re done, publish as normal. The post will not be publicly visible until the date and time you specified.
