How to Schedule a Post On LexBlog’s WordPress Configuration
I once subscribed to the belief that maintaining a blog was an impossible task for any busy person. Essentially, I thought that if you were a “blogger” that was your job – period. LexBlog (or, more specifically, our clients) taught me I was wrong. You can blog and still have time for your profession and life.
In order to publish regularly, you need not log-in every day or week. You can draft posts as you find time, store them in the back end, and schedule them to be published regularly. Here’s a walk-through of scheduling a post (with pictures!) if you are on our WordPress-based network:
Step 1: Draft your post and/or paste pre-drafted content (including title, post body, images, categories, and tags). You might consider following our blueprint for this step.
Step 2: Save your draft by clicking the “Save Draft” button in the “Publish” box.
Step 3: In the publish box, click the “Edit” link next to “Publish immediately”.
Step 4: Revise the date and time to reflect when you want the post to be published.
Step 5: Click the “OK” button.
Step 5a: Notice the change of the publish box buttons from “Publish” to “Schedule”.
Step 6: Click “Schedule”.
Step 7: Relax. Your post is now scheduled.
Many of our clients take advantage of this and have found their blogging “groove” by dedicating a couple hours every weekend or every few weekends to writing posts and scheduling them to be published within the following day or week. This frees them up from worrying about adding a post and keeps them focused, during the week, on their most important work.
