How to Schedule Posts on Blogger

 So we need to update our blog on the go, what do?

Without a team, how can we update our blogs when we're away? What if our audience expects consistency but you're too busy to sit and deliver the content when they expect it. Well no worries, In Blogger you can create and publish a post but have that post scheduled to release whenever we want in the future.

Starting from the blog post intended to be scheduled, we want to glance at the right-hand side column with the 'Post Settings' accordion.

From the post settings we want to expand the "Published on" tab.

Expanding the tab reveals a calendar which when you use it, schedules the date and time for the post to be published.

If you do not wish to schedule the post, select the 'Automatic' Boolean. 

Blogger allows you to either manually set the date or select the date from the calendar icon.

For this example I've set my post to be scheduled for the 15th of April at 12:00AM.

Once satisfied with your post and once the post is scheduled select the 'Publish' button.



A pop-up prompt will appear asking to confirm the date scheduled for your post.

If you wish to change the scheduled date once published, edit your post and select the 'Preview' drop down arrow. Click revert to draft and you'll be able to reschedule.
