Good choice. Be sure and list the reasons why people should use future posts.

this looks really great, Rosemary! My two suggestions would be:

1. Can you throw in a sentence or two about WHY someone might need/want to 
backdate a post?

2. Can you throw in a two or three sentence conclusion type paragraph at the 
end to really wrap it up. It sort of feels like it ends abruptly right now.

Jo and I have both approved your article. There are four of us editors, though, 
so I haven't published it yet in hopes that one or both of the remaining 
editors will check, too. So, for now, we're just in a holding pattern but you 
don't have anything else to do on your end unless you hear from one of the 
other editors! Good job!

Ok, thank you!  I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I was 
neglecting to do.

Fantastic. 

Little thing. 

The guidelines state that any image centered should be full size. In other 
words, if possible, the full width of the content column. A tiny image centered 
looks odd. 

The image under How Do I Publish a Future Post qualifies. 

I'd also like to see the instructions under the image in a 1, 2, 3 numbered 
step list. I'd love to use this in the class notes, and step by step 
instructions for each point are important to the clarity of such a tutorial. 

These are tiny things. This is brilliant! 

Thanks!

Great work.

So, I screwed up and saved my changes over the previous version.  The ClarkWP 
page currently displays the version of the article that I just finished, which 
includes adjusted images and a numbered list.  Sorry about the mistake with 
that.

Here is the link:  
http://clarkwp.wordpress.com/2014/01/26/how-to-publish-future-posts/  Does 
everything look ok?

Thanks!

I don't know what you mean by saved your changes over the previous version. You 
were supposed to, that's what naturally happens. If you need to go back to a 
previous version, use the revisions. I'll check the article. 

I just did a surface check and it looks good. 

For future reference, step-by-step instructions means "steps." You've done one 
style with the headings, but a list such as with a numbered HTML list would 
have worked, too. 

Really well done. Thanks! 

I'm going to mark it complete for the editors...they've had enough to worry 
about all weekend without me nitpicking. :D

WordPress says you are still editing the article. Publish it when you are done. 
Thanks.

I figured it needed to be re-approved, so I wanted to save a draft for the 
editors to review without taking down what had originally been approved.  That 
didn't work though.

I had tried it with an ordered list, but I couldn't get the images to do what I 
wanted them to do.  Headings were much more cooperative, and hopefully still 
look ok.

Thank you! :)
