If you haven’t already given it a go I’d highly recommend you go take a look. Basically it allows you to instead of publishing a post immediately you can schedule it to be published at a specific time and date in the future. This means that if one day you manage to crunch out more posts than you normally would you could have them published in a few days or so instead.

For me this is great as I maintain quite a large amount of desktop wallpaper sites, all running on WordPress. All of these sites need to be kept up to date with regular wallpaper updates. Instead of dropping by every other day and adding a new wallpaper I just add a load of them every two weeks. Then, over the course of the next two weeks the wallpaper posts are automatically published without me doing anything.

Another great use for this is if you plan on going away for a little while. For example, over Christmas I’ll be away for about 3 weeks (Spain, wooohoooo!) but you can be sure that my sites will be kept up to date.

So go ahead, check it out! It’s on the top right hand side of the “Add New” section of WordPress.
