This is the first post I've ever published while I was asleep. Look down there at the timestamp. It's 4am, and I'm unconscious to the world under the duvet in the bedroom nextdoor. And yet this blogpost has appeared, all by itself, with no human interaction whatsoever. At 03:59 it wasn't here, and now 60 seconds later it is. Hello to any of you who happen to be awake (or, more likely, abroad) at this unearthly hour. All this synchronised excitement is thanks to a new Blogger feature called Scheduled post publishing. Regular commenter siddiq has the heads-up. It's very simple. If I write a new post and change its timestamp to some moment in the future, and then press publish, Blogger will wait until the appropriate time before publishing. Yes, I know that other blogging platforms have had this particular future-feature for absolutely ages, but it's long-awaited for us freebie-kids on bog standard Blogger. Hurrah! Can you hear me snoring?
