My Approach to Blogging: Part III
Mar 12th 2007Nik AgarwalBlogging
This post is a continuation of a series of posts designed to illustrate how I approach my blogging duties.
As a college student, I cannot always dedicate precious time to my blog since my own academic commitments always have precedence over any other activity. 
Therefore, I am forced to sometimes write a collection of posts in one sitting and then have them published throughout the different times of the day. To accomplish such a task, and assuming you are using WordPress, I make extensive use of the Post Timestamp feature.
Normally, when you publish your posts, the timestamp on that post is the time at which you hit the publish button. By changing the timestamp feature, WordPress can automatically publish your post at a time of your choice. Just remember that the time you see in the picture is at noon and it works on a 24 hour clock. That means, if you want your post published at 4 PM, you have to type in 16:00. This post that you are reading is actually being written at 10:30 PM on March 11, 2007 and has been published at noon on March 12, 2007.
Timestamping is a method I use to stay on track of averaging at least one post per day. I know that I am sometimes unable to post everyday, but I am actively trying my best. It doesn’t always help when you’re stuck with the common cold and a pounding headache. Next time, try to timestamp your posts to see how you can increase productivity without having to write a post at random times.
