Just two days back, blogger.com has officially introduced scheduling posts for future dates feature in blogger.com web blog. Through Windows Live Writer we can also make use of this feature, but your web blog should support this feature as blogger.com does.

After installing Windows Live Writer, while adding your web blog account, select the appropriate web blog you are using. Its very simple to schedule the post for future dates, after writing an article just click on the calendar icon which you see at the bottom right of your article post window.

Select your appropriate date to post the article and publish your post. If you have a doubt that whether this is working, now go and check your blogger.com. Login to your account in blogger.com and click on Posting tab, in that choose Edit Posts, you can view your article which has been scheduled to your selected date, this means your post has been scheduled to the respective date which you have selected while publishing your article.
