As for timing, I think it has worked out well for me considering what a tough month this has been on my routine. LOL. It has given me an easy topic every day to keep up daily posts at least ;) Thank you Katherine.

But it's definitely what I'm working toward on the Wednesday interview articles. Those are being done and scheduled at my convenience and to the best advantage of the interviewee.

But I have to say, having the posts lined up and ready to publish automatically on the dates set is a great feeling. It removes the pressure, which I'm finding helps me to think & write more freely and more creatively. This was definitely a good exercise, and is a habit I would like to really hammer in!

I actually started doing this way back when, when you suggested it to me on the elite members forum. In moving my existing "photo gallery" from a stagnant .html page, I took all of the existing projects that were already submitted over the past year and "wrote" a blog post for each project and post dated them for the 1st and the 15th of each month. This way I'm sure to have at least two projects featured for each month. I'm set until mid May. When I get current project photo submissions, I still try to post them as soon as possible, but when I don't have them flowing in, it "looks" like I do. ;) I love doing this (post-dating posts) with these type of posts because when I'm in the groove to sit down to do pictures & testimonials, I can knock out a whole bunch in one setting. It's easy and a lot less time-consuming, or at least it feels that way. Thanks for doing this BABB Series! I look forward to tomorrow's task. This is an awesome assignment.

Doesn't WP still "ping" them all at once even though they won't actually be posted until the date set? Seems like I read this when I was checking out a plugin at: http://www.maxblogpress.com/plugins/mpo/ An excerpt ... "Let me illustrate more clearly with an example why scheduling future posts can ban your blog: Say you are going for a vacation for 30 days and you want to schedule 30 posts so that your blog gets updated daily. You schedule 30 posts by editing the time stamp. Here when you post 30 posts, WordPress sends 30 pings even though that post haven't yet appeared in your blog. After that, for 30 days WordPress won't send a single ping, even though new posts appear in your blog." Didn't know that. Have Fun! Rick Wilson 8) Hi Lynn!

I don't always have posts scheduled ahead of time, but at the moment I have a couple already written and a couple in drafts. Since I don't post every day, I'm counting the two completed ones as a week's worth. I'm going to try to get in the habit. :) I lucked out on this task – I didn’t have to do a thing!

This is a perfect post for me as well because I’m at a creative low for some reason and I would love to have my posts done so I can either timestamp them or have posts that allow me to take a break.
