Recently, us folks over here aquired
BlogJet
and licenses for each of us. A wonderful blogging tool. I
have been very happy with it and its features. I do have one
feature request, that probably doesn't apply for most of us. I
want to be able to queue up completed blog postings for publishing at a
later date. Sometimes on weekends I get a bunch of blog posts
written all at once. Since I'm always connected to the internet,
why not have completed, unposted blog posts queued up with a publishing
date? Does this save me time? No. Money? No.
Does it really do anything special for me? No. I just like
to have stuff to play with :)
Right now I have finished my final post on OOP principles and a blog
post on boxing/unboxing to be published in a few days. Its no big
deal to bring those up and just publish them when the time is
right. Where this feature would come in handy is on a new series
I am starting on this next week, that will continue for the next 3
months. I will be covering, per blog post, each of aspects of XP
methodologies, one per week. I might write 3 or 4 of them in one
sitting. I would like to be able to say "publish this one on
March 18th, the next one on March 25th, etc" and write them all
at once and know they are finished and ready to publish. Yes, you
can save your posts as drafts and bring them up and publish them later,
but I actually do have unfinished drafts and keep seperate folders for
drafts and completed/unpublish because you have to publish by actually
bringing up the post and clicking a button to publish. I'm
extremely lazy and what to automate the publishing of posts that belong
to a series, such as my upcoming XP articles.
