The time stamp

Last week when I was gone cam­ping my father oh so nicely pos­ted two artic­les I had writ­ten on my site.  Both were time sen­si­tive.  The first was a let­ter to BC on his birth­day.  The second was the July 1st Blog Exchange.  Which, by the way, was pos­ted on the 2nd, due to my error.  (I think that the lady who wrote the post is pee­ved about this as I’ve never recei­ved a reply to my pro­fuse apo­logy.)  But I digress.

When I pre-wrote these posts I chan­ged the post time stamp to the day I wan­ted it pos­ted and then saved the docu­ment.  My dad went to my site, and hit ‘publish’ on the appro­priate date.

I’ve since found out, thanks to my tech­no­lo­gi­cally gif­ted older brother, that all I nee­ded to do was write my post, edit the time stamp to the date and time I wan­ted it published and then hit ‘publish’. And Word Press would publish it for me.

Easy as that.

So I’ve been trying it.  And it works!  I write my posts at night, change the stamp so it will post in the mor­ning and wa-la!  It’s done.

This is a really long, round about way of telling you that I’ve writ­ten a few posts that should be published on Thurs­day, Fri­day and Satur­day.  It will look like I’m here, but really I’ll be off pla­ying hoo­kie.  Hehe, I feel so sneaky!

The family and I are hea­ding to Family Camp near Yose­mite from Wed-Sat and will be hea­ding to my parents house for a few days after that, and then to a nice hotel resort as my dad puts on an ins­ti­tute.

In the mean­time, keep those com­ments coming.  I’ll check back in on Sun­day.  Enjoy my lineup for the rest of the week!

    Isn’t that a great fea­ture? I did that on my blog while I was gone this past week. I couldn’t bear the thought of lea­ving my little blo­gar­den unten­ded for so long so I set up some posts to go up in advance.

    By the way, thanks for thin­king I rock. That’s really cool of you!
