How To Schedule Posts In WordPress

One of the main reasons I love using Wordpress is that I can go on vacation without anyone knowing. Simply type a series of posts and schedule them to be published automatically. Then using ManageFlitter, I can make sure the posts syndicate across my social networks, and I never miss a beat. I've even filled my team in on this little secret that allows them to come in to work when they want to and some get all their content queued up for the week in a matter of hours.

4) Finally, click the blue Schedule button:

That's it! Wordpress will now automatically publish your post on the date and time scheduled.
