How To Use The Wordpress Timestamp Feature
Jun 19th, 2008 by admin
As you probably know, blogging regularly is essential if you’re to build a successful blog and drive lots of traffic to it. How often is regular?
At least 5 times a week on average, preferably daily if not two to three times per day!
If your blog is on a real passion of yours, then writing content that frequently may not be a problem for you. BUT, if you’re blogging in several niches, some of which don’t really inspire you (in other words you’re doing it for the money), writing everyday can be a real chore!
So what should you do when faced with writers’ block?
Well I recommend that you find a bunch of articles related to your niche, re-write them in your own words, and then post them to your blog in one go … say you pull together seven articles and upload them, you’ve just done a weeks writing in a couple of hours!
How do you upload them all at once without them appearing on your blog instantly?
Simply use the Wordpress Timestamp feature … (You are using Wordpress to Blog with aren’t you?)
To use the Timestamp feature in Wordpress, all you have to do is go to the “Write” page in your dashboard and copy and paste your rewritten article.
Then go to the “Timestamp” feature lower down on the right hand side which appears as follows:

Simply enter the date and time you would like your post to appear live on your blog and hit the “Publish” button as you normally would. Wordpress stores your post until the time and date you’ve specified, at which time it automatically goes live! Once you’ve hit the publish button, copy and paste your next article and repeat! Simply add 24 hours so that each new post appears the next day over 7 days … Job Done!
It’s a brilliant solution to writers block or times when you know you won’t get near a computer.
