No, they are posted once they are created.

Ha, I am laughing Peter Mohylsky because I am one of the small group of Rainers that works in Hawaii. Yes, I set my blog post to show up at 9 am Pacific Time on AR. But my laughter is about TIME ZONES. In Hawaii our schedule relative to other users here will move up an hour when most of your change by "falling back" an hour come November. We don't "spring forward" or "all back" so time relative to almost all of the worl changes for us in November an again in March.  I am 5 or 6 hours earlier than Eastern Time (noon Eastern is sometimes 6 am here and sometimes 7 am). Schedling for the world is what we do here on the islands and not just for AR posts. Imagine having a client who likes to touch base first thing in the morning, but his morning is 6 hours earlier than your morning... no, I do not rise at 3 am to call my New York client at 9 am his time!

No, I just write it and post it.

I don't, but would be interested to kow what others do.  Thanks for the question.

I write them in the shower, they pour out the ends of fingers shortly thereafter.

Some I do ... some I don't...depends on my 5 day schedule etc....

I write at night and post at the same time.

No I post them when I am ready. Does the scheduler even work correctly now? It didn't for a long time.

Nope.  I sit down and write when I have the time each day, and immediately post when I'm done.

Peter Mohylsky No

no, I don't trust that system.... when I write, I publish....

Peter,

It depends, if I schedule at blog it is for 3AM PST.  Scheduling blogs means I make time to write a bunch of them ahead of time because we are on the road traveling to client's marketplaces.  A

Yes, I do.

only for the weekends, they are scheduled during the week to run later.

No.  From an SEO point, it makes no difference, and I care most about that.  For social media, yes.

No, I post when I'm ready - quite often at night!

No, I post when ready.

I suppose I should time them, many go un-read in AR when the topics should draw more eyes.

No, when time permits, I write - and post...

No, when I finish one, I usually post it right then. 

No, just when the spirit moves me.

I usually write my morning blog on the spot but schedule a late afternoon blog which most often is a market report, new listing, pending or sold listing announcement

No because that scheduler doesn't work & is not reliable at all.

No, I don't. More often than not I post in the morning before my day runs away with me... but I can post at any time.

Never have scheduled a blog.  I do it the old fashioned way.

No, I dont get that excited about it, just post often and people will find you.

   No.  I hit "post" when I am all finished.

I completely missed the fact that ActiveRain offered this feature, until just now. Boy, do I feel silly (and oblivious).  - Tim

It depends.  If I have time, I have scheduled posts to be published(typically the next day).  For the real world -- time is not as important as consistent and relevant posting for me.   

I do not. When I post I typically post in the am.  However, there are times I just post whenever. 

No.

No. 

What controls posting time is directly related to how hard it is to get at least 50 words to stick together.

No, I just get up in the morning, get a cup of coffee and post!

Rarely

No.  They post when I write them.

No.

I post when I have time

Some of the time I do and set them to publish at 5am PDT. Other times I post as I write.

No.

Nope

Yes I do when I write them

Yes, I schedule my weekly Second Chance Saturday for very early Saturday morning (to catch the Eastern time zone crowd).   1:00 a.m., which is 4:00 Eastern.  

Yes. I schedule my blogs and reblogs in advance. My reblogs are usually posted before my morning blog that is posted at 7 a.m. local time. My afternoon blog is usually scheduled for 4 p.m. local time.

No

No.....and i know I should. I already set the schedule for my other network media posts. 

I do on occasion, when I have time to write a few market reports.   Often the editor messes up the format, and I see it later, which is awful.   There are times where the scheduler does not work either.

lately I haven't been posting any.  I've got to get back in gear

Sometimes.  When I am doing a reminder post about an upcoming event, I typically schedule it for the prior day at 6am.  Otherwise, post it when completed.

Just on Sundays

I wouldn't worry about the exact timing too much.  That's more of a consideration for someone with several thousand daily visitors.

The most important thing is that you stay consistent with your posts and mention other websites/social media influencers.  After you post, reach out to those people and (hopefully) they will link back to you.

The more "links" you can get to point back to your page the better that page will perform.  This is how you move your websites up the search engine rankings and generate free organic traffic on a consistent basis.

No, I typically post them when I write them. I have scheduled a few in the past just becuase I wrote them during a low-traffic period.

It is best to just post! Don't overthink the small things
