How-To: Schedule a Future WordPress Post
One feature which I recently discovered in WordPress was the ability to schedule an article to be posted at a predefined future date. As my time has been very limited lately, I do not know when I will have the chance to write an article for CyberWyre. When I do have a few hours free though, I will usually try to write as much as I can in the allotted time.
The ability to schedule an article to be posted at a future time has proven very useful to me (even with this article you are reading now — it was written nearly one week before I scheduled it to be posted). As my erratic writing schedule does not always allow me to write at a normal pace, sometimes having not written anything for weeks and then one day writing five or six articles, an automatic posting schedule lets me set when each article will be made public, allowing me to sit back and know that there will be fresh content on my site when I am busy with other things.
How to Configure Scheduled Posting in WordPress
So you’ve finally booked that two week vacation to the Caribbean and now you’re worried what will happen to your site while you’re gone — or will your readers even know that you left? Actually setting an article to be posted at a future date was simpler than I thought.
Step #1: Write your article, proof it and basically get it ready to go live.
Step #2: Expand the “Post Status” drop-down on the right side of your window (as seen in the screen capture below) and select “Published” instead of “Draft”.
Step #3: Expand the “Post Timestamp” drop-down on the right side of your window and select the checkbox “Edit timestamp” and configure your future post date (as seen below).
Step #4: Click the “Save” button. Note: Not the “Save and Continue Editing” button and not the “Publish” button.
That’s it, your article will now be posted on the date you selected. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your vacation!

Hi Matt, I like your News script! I was doing some formatting to my blog and incorporated your News script codes. It’s pretty interesting to have a list of hot searches on the internet generated dynamically.
Just a quick question, does the clicks on those text actually helps to generate clicks count to the adsense account ?
Oh by the way, I can’t seem to perform a double clicking on the text. Did I miss some settings?
Thanks for the info. This tip will come in handy for my various blogs.
