Comments on: Future Posting With MarsEdit http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/317/future-posting-with-marsedit Mac & Technology Writings by Daniel Jalkut Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:33:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Derek http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/317/future-posting-with-marsedit/comment-page-1#comment-84919 Derek Tue, 17 Apr 2007 19:08:55 +0000 http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/317/future-posting-with-marsedit#comment-84919 Thanks for the information. I recently found your blog again (I was reading it for awhile when you were having that whole debacle with the Macbook Pro), and I am enjoying your entries. I'm also looking forward to trying out MarsEdit in the future because as of now I have just been writing my posts in a simple text file using Emacs. And copying and pasting from local machine to web interface did seem lame to me, indeed. Thanks for the information.

And thanks for letting me know about Nucleus, Mark. Great to hear that it’s working on Blogsome after all. And thanks for letting me know about Nucleus, Mark.

It does work under Blogsome, I'm just too stupid to remember to check it properly... posts do appear as scheduled. I'm sure there was a bug at some stage regarding archives, but I might be mistaken.

(I notice the generator string is "WordPress 1.5.1-alpha"). Scheduled posting might not have been an actively supported feature at that time. Nowadays, a future-posted entry even shows up in the admin interface under "scheduled posts" in the main sidebar.

Whilst future posting will work for the front page, it may not prevent prying eyes from seeing your post. It used to be, on Blogsome, a derivative of WordPress MultiUser, that you could see newer than now posts by viewing a category, day, month, or even year archive. So, to see all of someone's future posts, just do: http://captainobvious.blogsome.com/2007/ However, in the current version of Blogsome, future dated posts just appear in the main page, too. http://schinckel.net for a real example.

Most of the modern PHP–based blogging softs have that capability. Movable Type needs a cron job to post things in the future. Changing to a future date will just get the same kind of pinned post during the next rebuild. The old Blogger would pin the future posts, so if you did that, it would stick at the top of your posts.

But I never used it. According to the manual whether or not that feature works depends on the way your MT installation is set up. Movable Type has an option for future posting. But I never used it.

I've been using MarsEdit since it was in early beta, and I never even knew about this feature. Guess it'll learn me to go exploring the menus more often. Thank you so much for posting this.

I suspect it should be relatively simple to implement, since the LJ API is published and documented. LiveJournal also lets you ‘post-date’ blog entries.
