Shh – I’m Sleeping

I’ve discovered a lovely little feature on WordPress that I’m going to tell you about just now.

Here’s the thing – I’m asleep right now, and I have been for several hours. I know – it shows on your screen that I only posted this a few minutes ago – so how did I do it?

Nope – I’m not a sleepwalker. Nor am I an Astral Traveller. All I did was Schedule my post!

You don’t have to worry about Commenting and Liking this – all my devices are on mute and so I will be oblivious.

Here’s how it works: when I’m inspired to write piece after piece after piece; rather than shoot them out all at once, I click on the little Calendar to the right of the Publish button. This allows me to tell WordPress exactly when to post the article, effectively spreading out my posts for maximum effect.

So this one, for example, was written at seven minutes to eleven in the night, but I’ve set it to appear as three in the morning. Amazeballs, right!

And here’s an added bonus – this gives me some nice comments to read in the morning as I eat my cereal.

So there you go – a new trick for you to practice. Have fun!
