Scheduling and auto-expiry

Publish now, schedule for later, or set a post to come down on its own. Plus the publishing queue.

Every post has three options, on the Schedule tab.

Schedule for laterPublishes itself at a date and time you set

#Scheduling

Pick a date, a time and a timezone. The time is checked as being in the future, and your timezone is honoured, so it publishes at the moment you meant wherever you are.

You do not need to be logged in

Scheduled posts publish on their own. The system checks every 60 seconds, your browser does not have to be open.

#Auto-expiry

You can optionally set an Unpublish After date. When it arrives, the post reverts to a draft on its own.

Good useBecause
A seasonal market reportA "Spring 2026 outlook" in December makes you look inattentive
A limited-time promotionIt stops offering something that has ended
An event announcementIt comes down after the event

The expiry date can be cleared at any time.

#The queue

Blogs → Queue shows everything waiting to publish, with the title, scheduled time, a live countdown and the timezone. Each entry can be edited or deleted. Below it, recently published posts appear with their view counts.

#Sharing a draft

Add ?preview=true to a post URL to let someone read it before it is live. A banner marks it as not yet published.

#When to publish

The EZ Assist suggests a time based on your own audience, which beats general advice. Failing that, weekday mornings.
