Blogger itself do not have a provision for scheduling posts to be publish at a future date. However, there is a work around:

First, sign into blogger.com (Dashboard), click SETTINGS, then EMAILS and set a "Mail-to-Blogger Address" secret mail-to-blogger email address. For example abc.xyz@blogger.com (keep this email address secret, refer to screen shot below:


Next prepare the post as usual in Blogger post editor window in the EDIT HTML mode. Upload the images you want to display, include any HTML tags such as a hyperlink HTML tag, etc. (see screen shot below:



When you have finished preparing your post, click inside post editor window, press ctrl+A keys to highlight the whole post including any HTML tags, press ctrl+C keys to copy into clipboard. Do not publish. If you wish, you can save the post as draft for safe keeping.

Next, create an account at Time Cave, select a time zone etc. and activate the account. Once activated, log in and schedule a new message. Paste what you have copied from the post editor window into the new message editor window. Type in the secret mail-to-blogger email address and select the date and time you want to publish the post. Preview, then click CONFIRM. Done
