See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=scheduling&sort= i.e. the auto-scheduling you mention as so unique (this is just one in the second page of search results which has 380 results): http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-schedule-posts/screenshots/ And it's had like 3k downloads so I'm guessing you're not so alone in the "blogging habits curve" after all :Phttp://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment21http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment21Wed, 27 Jul 2011 07:45:08 GMTDaniel, Sure, you have future posting in everything. But: * You have to setup the future date yourself. * There is no good way to manage scheduling / re-scheduling. * Most people don't have a month+ of backlogged postshttp://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment20http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment20Wed, 27 Jul 2011 07:19:31 GMTLike blogging software hasn't had future "posted date" like forever... I find the "Future Posts" feature quite useless. I only read blogs through a blog reader/aggregator anyway. Glad you're having fun with, which is always a plus, hehe.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment19http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment19Tue, 26 Jul 2011 23:28:22 GMTAyende, Yeah, that was what I was pointing out. Just happened to notice it after reading this post.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment18http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment18Sat, 23 Jul 2011 16:34:07 GMTAyende, Your last 7 comments are just in line with what you're saying about "interacting a lot with readers". And readers do appreciate that a lot. Including me at this particular time. Long live and prosper, and so your blog, Ayende :)http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment17http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment17Sat, 23 Jul 2011 06:09:20 GMTAndrey, And that also mean that I can take a vacation for a month without worrying about that, too :-)http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment16http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment16Sat, 23 Jul 2011 02:20:42 GMTAndrey, Yes, fixed.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment15http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment15Sat, 23 Jul 2011 02:19:54 GMTMichal, It is whatever I am currently doing now. Which is a wide mix. I am mostly doing just tech stuff for the blog, which means that it gets pretty interesting. One thing that I think I do good is to interact a lot with the readers, challenges are pretty awesome for that, but just regular discussions are very interesting, and they make people want to come back.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment14http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment14Sat, 23 Jul 2011 02:19:43 GMTRoger, Not a bug, actually, might be called oversight, but not a bug :-) Fixed.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment13http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment13Sat, 23 Jul 2011 02:15:08 GMTMagnus, Yes, it is back, although I don't really see why people like it.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment12http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment12Sat, 23 Jul 2011 02:09:52 GMTA Loho, They are scheduled for noon, Israel time. There was a problem with time drift on the server that caused them to change.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment11http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment11Sat, 23 Jul 2011 02:09:23 GMTDavid, That is pretty much solely because of the scheduling feature, to tell you the truth.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment10http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment10Sat, 23 Jul 2011 02:08:26 GMTHeh, just noticed the amazing consistency while looking at my rss trends: http://i.imgur.com/9MtFP.jpg Ayende, Definitely upper echelon in the software development arena, as its longevity and reach would also indicate. Your blog is very forward thinking (especially compared to many blogs in the MSFT-sphere where they have to devote a lot of effort towards explaining new features/api's coming out of Redmond) and is probably the first in depth exposure that many of us get to things like DSLs or noSQL databases.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment9http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment9Fri, 22 Jul 2011 14:14:00 GMTCould you fix a lack of rss feed of comments on particular post? Are you realize that if you will be lost in a desert island nobody will care about you for a month while they'll read your scheduled posts? ;-)http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment8http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment8Fri, 22 Jul 2011 06:08:12 GMTAyende, David pointed out that you define yourself where you want to be on this curve. And the beauty of that is that you're not limited by tools. What's extraordinary is for sure technical quality of what you write but also the amount. It's simply huge. And reading you for some time now I can see that you mix short, almost emotional posts with longer, more deeply technical. I don't know *exactly* what's the recipe for you, so putting you out of the mainstream but you can feel it in guts while reading many blogs.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment7http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment7Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:25:38 GMTDavid, Where do you think I _am_ on the blogging curve, if you don't mind?http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment6http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment6Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:15:26 GMTA small bug... in "Archive" on the right, it shows "Aug, 2011 (17)". But clicking it opens an empty screen. You mean we can't read your posts before their posted?! ;)http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment5http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment5Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:03:50 GMTWhile on the topic of features - will the "Recent comments" return - or is that impractical with the way the documents are structured?http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment4http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment4Thu, 21 Jul 2011 10:54:59 GMTFirst thanks for this blog, it helped me a lot so far. I've got a question on my mind for some time now and i guess this is the right post to ask. How are the posting time scheduled? It seems that it shifts with each post, several days ago posts were posted during morning (western european time) and now its during late evening.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment3http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment3Thu, 21 Jul 2011 10:36:48 GMTYou have a passion for writing and you have respect for your reader's varied interests. Thanks for that.http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment2http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment2Thu, 21 Jul 2011 10:00:30 GMT"I needed it. My blogging habits puts me quite outside any curve that you care to name, and the usual blogging software just don’t take some stuff into account." Love this philosophy, seems like there are too many people that think "My habits put me outside the curve, therefore I need to try to adapt my habits to a piece of software that doesn't really work for me".http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment1http://ayende.com/46081/why-i-love-raccoon-blog#comment1Thu, 21 Jul 2011 09:36:29 GMT
