Do you schedule your posts? Do you let your readers know that you'll schedule posts because you are going on a vacation?

    I have done in the past, but not so much these days.

    No... You can't really make a schedule for inspiration.

      That is very well said.

    Question: Do you schedule your posts?
    Answer: Sometimes but not frequently.

    Question: Do you let your readers know that you'll schedule posts because you are going on a vacation?
    Answer: Heck no. I don't want to increase the amount of spam. I answer comments when I'm on vacation, and I don't want to make any announcement that may lead to getting fewer comments or losing subscribers.

      TT, technically speaking, how does a person schedule articles ahead of time? I have some written already, and would like them to appear during my holidays.

    at times I pre-write posts and schedule them ahead, although lately I am mostly behind and struggle just to get Something up. OTOH, having and keeping to a regular and announced schedule can help you to receive regular visitors

      I do this too... When there's a spurge of 'you gotta read this' material it needs spreading out a bit to prevent hyper-bloggeration. Kudos. 50/50.

    I just started my blog and it's really an extension of my website favfashionsites.com but what I find to be helpful is to start writing a post as it comes to you and save it. Lets say you write like 3 in one day save it and post it one at a time. Like i said I'm new but this is what I am going to do. btw add me as a friend

    Sometimes I do, but it mostly depends on the topic.

    I went to Canberra for a conference and scheduled, without total confidence, the next post to appear while I was still away. It worked like a dream!

    Now I am really getting into the swing of scheduling posts
    1. Soirette
      Yes, I scheduled for a conference away,too, and it worked very well.

    A lot of times...and backwards.

    Yeah, I operate my blogs almost entirely through scheduling. Not sure why - I think I like the idea of routine 'publication', like magazines. Plus it lets you write a bunch of blog entries in one rush and not just swamp your blog with them.

    Sometimes I do-sometimes I don't; but I just figured out what days of the week my two blogs are most visited, so I'll post on or before those days. Pre posting is great!
  17. Livinginthepast
    No, I don't. I try to post when I can. Sometimes that's three or four times a day, sometimes once in 2 weeks.

    Can you schedule using blogger?
  18. sorcerer
    yes I schedule posts..
    its tactically necessary in this fast moving world!
