Blog into the Future


One of the challenges of blogging is follow-through. When we create the blog, we are full of ideas. We can't wait to put those ideas into our blog. Then, for one reason or other, a lull occurs. We realize that we haven't posted anything new in weeks. Where did the time go?

That's life. Life happens. We get busy. Yet, to our readers we must be steady. If we expect people to return on a regular basis, we must post on a regular basis.

We can have our cake and eat it too. We can have our ideas in spurts and yet post on a regular schedule. When a create a post, there is a little link below the box that says "Post Options." When I click it, I get to choose a date on which the post will appear. That means I can create half-a-dozen posts at one sitting and schedule each one to publish on a particular future date.
