I just made the stupid mistake

of confessing to my fellow amnesiac that I hadn't, as yet, fully mastered the art of scheduling posts to this blog.

His response to my humiliating cry for help was as follows:

What you do is go to Post Options (bottom left), and then shift the time/date to whenever you want it to see the light of day. Sometimes - and I don't off-hand recall in which circumstances - you have to save it as a draft, then make like you're going to edit it, and THEN change the time/date. Because otherwise it publishes it instanto, and simply announces on the blog that it's now Sunday or whatever. Which will get chaotic when I come back the day after and start saying it's still Friday.

So glad I asked.
