How to Post to the Future
June 5, 2007When most bloggers have to be away from their computers or from the internet for several days, they usually declare a short "blog hiatus" explaining why their blogs will be inactive for an extended period of time. However, that is only one way to go about it. Your I.PH blog actually allows you to "post to the future" or simply put, set a future date for a particular article to be posted. This lets you schedule when certain articles are published on your blog. So let's say you'll be gone for 4 days, you can prepare 4 articles to be published automatically on the days when you'll be away. Neat eh? Here's how you do it:
- Login to your blogs and proceed to write an article as you normally would.
- Click on the little arrow on the right of the ADVANCED SETTINGS bar to access the advanced posting options.

- Set the time and date when you want the article posted on your blog.
- Click Publish.
It's that simple. When the assigned time and date arrives, the article will then appear on your blog. It's a great way to keep your blog regularly updated even when you can't get to a computer or connect to the internet. Just because you're going on vacation doesn't mean your blog has to!
