How to prepare a post to be published in the future

Here is a workaround to create a post to publish in the future. You will have to use Email Scheduler. This post was prepared on Friday, August 4 at 10:34 and is scheduled to publish on August 5 at 12:00. This is how it can be done. First you will have to enable blogging by email. Log into Dashboard, select the blog, click SETTING>EMAIL, then in the Mail-to-Blogger Address box, type in a secret word in the box and make sure you tick Publish box. Save and republish. Then create an account at Email Scheduler. Click "Scheduler" at the top bar and you will see a window like in the screen capture shown below. Type in the Mail-to-Blogger Address in the "to" box, the title of your post in the "subject" box and prepare your post in the content box. Then choose the date and time at which you want the post to be published in the "Remind on" boxes and click "submit". If you want to confirmed your email is saved, click on the "Pending email" button on the right sidebar. This is how you will do it if you are familiar with HTML. If you are not familiar with HTML and if you want to post photos, there is an alternative. Log into Blogger Dashboard and prepare your post as normal. You can do it in either the Edit Html mode or the Compose mode, but when you are finished, make sure you change over to EDIT HTML mode. Highlight the prepared post and copy. Follow the method as described above, but instead of preparing your post in the content box of Email Scheduler, paste your post prepared in the Blogger post editor. Chose the date and time you want to post and click "submit" and you are done. Note: If your post editor have word verification turned on, you will first have to get it removed or it will interfere with your future posting. This blog had post editor word verification turned on. I contacted Blogger Support and the word verification was removed within 24 hours. To contact Blogger Support, see How to contact Blogger Support (click "BACK" button to get back to this page). You will normally receive an automated email. Make sure you reply to the email.

Update: This post was prepared on Friday, August 4 at 10:34 and was scheduled to publish on Saturday, August 5 at 12:00. How, the post was published on Sunday, August 6 between 9.00 and 12.00 according to my computer time. I live on the other side of the globe from America.
