Why Not Time-Delayed Entries?
Authored by: monickels on Jun 20, '02 11:48:52AM
I dunno if GeekLog has this function, but more than a couple of the open source CMS allow you to post delayed entries. You put them in the queue, then set them to appear at a specific time and day in the future. (PostNuke and pMachine do this well; perhaps you could ask for the pertinent code). I do this on a site I currently run (promo! ABC Electric Journal) and it works quite well. Gives the impression of regular updates, even if I set everything to appear weeks in advance. And considering that most of the hints posted here, while useful, are very evergreen, delayed posts would be perfect for Mac OS X Hints.

The newest version of Geeklog supports "Publish At...", which will allow me to do just what you describe. The version I'm going to upgrade to is due out "any day now" ... but has been in that state for about a month!
