An Interesting WordPress Plugin

Dear Readers,

This is a letter of apology for all of you who may not be quite into technology like I am.  For that I am sorry. (Sorry that you are not into technology.  Not that I am writing this letter to you . . .)

You can stop reading right now and go your merry way to scrub toilets, wash windows, give the dog a bath — or whatever activity that brings joy and happiness to your soul — if  you don’t care for technology.  If you hunker after it like me, read on.

Dagon Design has created a WordPress Plugin that allows you to schedule a draft post to be published at a later time.  So, you ask.  What does that have to do with the price of rice in China?

Lots, I reply.

This plugin means I can write something and then set a time for it to be automatically published.  I don’t have to go back in to click the publish button.  It’s done presto-pronto on time all by its little self.

Here’s why it is appealing to me.

I recently wrote that my sweet husband and I will be traveling to Denmark.  I want to be able to have posts published on my sites during that time.  But, I don’t know what Internet access will be like in Denmark.  Heck, I don’t even know if I’ll have any desire to be posting to my sites while I’m in that delightful country that is going to add a plethora of pounds to my body because of its tasty pastries.

So, I can have something written in advance (and that will be a key issue here!) and the plugin will publish it while I’m off galavanting and having fun.

I like that idea.

Now.  If you are reading this post, you know that I was successful in getting it to work.  Happy day!

If you can’t read this, then I’ll be going back to the drawing board — or to the php coding to try and figure out what I did wrong.

All the best,
Ms. Techno-Geek-in-all-her-glory
