Good news to all blogspot users! Blogger has implemented a feature that before only wordpress users enjoy, and that is to be able to schedule posts!
To schedule your post in blogger, here is what you should do.
Wait a minute… before you go away and curse me for telling you bogus information, I researched and I got to learn how. I also thought that I was fooled too however, a simple search in Google told me that this scheduling of post in blogger is a relatively new feature and it has not yet been implemented in the normal blogger interface.
So now what do we do?
Simple! All we need to do is to log-in to DRAFT BLOGGER. As I can see it, draft blogger is like a testing area for new features of blogger before they implement it to the normal blogger.
Draft blogger can be found by typing this in your address bar, http://draft.blogger.com/. Draft blogger looks exactly the same as the normal blogger interface however if you observe it clearly, you will see that draft blogger’s logo is a blue colored B.
So now, let us start scheduling our posts in blogger.
I just did a little test on a test blog and it works! Now that’s one feature of wordpress that blogger is now able to do. ^_^
However here’s a bug,

Thanks to Yatot by telling me about it. Yatot, now you don’t have to cheat post.
Thanks to blogger in draft blog about telling me why it won’t work the first time I tried it.

3I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info, Allen. I’ve been planning to make 3-4 posts per day instead of one, but I didn’t see the point of making 3 posts in a couple of hours and then leaving it idle for the rest of the day. This scheduling trick should come in handy for spreading out the posts.

4Oh Happy Day!
I just tried it and it appears to be working!
We’ll see what happens in about 40 minutes - when I’ve scheduled my next blog post - a ‘test’ of this process.
The post is listed under the ‘Scheduled’ category.
Thank you SO MUCH!

5@Ling - Hi Ling, this is actually a new feature and it still has bugs. The permalink bug is a big issue. It will make your post unlinkable to others because of it since there is no permalink but just a link to your homepage. But it’s a good start.

6@Pam Hoffman - Hi Pam, I just checked in your blog and your last post is the scheduled post right? Just to remind you (i sound like a broken record here), about the bug in scheduled posting in blogger. If you check the permalink, it just links back to your homepage.
btw, thanks for bringing it to my attention, umm what exactly is wrong with my comments section under IE? I’m not an IE user…

9tried the link, it’s better to use http://draft.blogger.com instead of including the /home… because if you use the link that includes the “/home” it gets redirected to the official blogger home, not the blue logo-ed one…

10Maybe we should just give them a little time to fine tune it before implementing it on our blogs.
Thanks for sharing the information. Cheers.
