Testing - #2 -

Thank you for your comments yesterday - Another thing that I wanted to check out - Trying to schedule a couple of posts for different days - In Compose mode - at the right is an "UP" arrow next to "Labels" - I clicked on that to close the list of LABELS - that I never use - That allowed the rest of the list to show - "Published on" has a "DOWN" arrow - So I clicked on that - And got - Automatic - already marked with a greenish circle - Under "Automatic" is "Set date and time" - Clicked on that - and got what used to be the "Schedule" calendar - Clicked on the "14" for this post - Which changed the date at the top - above the greenish box - Then clicked on the "time" part - And got the drop down box like the OLD way - So I clicked on "12:30 AM" - like I always do - "Saved" it - the "floppy" icon - "Previewed" it - the "eye" icon - And got a bunch of stuff strung together with NO separate lines - Apparently the "Compose" mode does that - But the DATE and TIME were correct - as SCHEDULED - So I then clicked on the last icon at the top - on the right - The ARROW - for "Publish" - Got a message to "Confirm" - Clicked "Confirm" - Which took me back to a list of my posts - That listed this post - as a DRAFT - Clicked on that - and went back to the "Compose" mode - With the LABEL list again - UGH!! Checked the "Publish" date again - It was set for Jun 14 2020 - 12:30AM - So why didn't the list of my POSTS show it as SCHEDULED? - I clicked on UPDATE - the arrow between the big GRAY circle and the EYE - "Changes saved" - Then back - the LEFT arrow to the LEFT of the ORANGE box/WHITE B at the top LEFT - The SECOND time - The list of my POSTS shows it as SCHEDULED - ;)) Then I tried to schedule - Testing #3 - for Monday - Discovered - purely by accident - That - if I SCHEDULED a post - And KNEW that I SCHEDULED it - And CONFIRMED it - And it showed as DRAFT - I could click the PUBLISH icon on the LIST OF POSTS - To change it to SCHEDULED - In case you care - LOL - ;)) Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

I decided to go back to "old style blogger" until I can't anymore. Then I may switch platforms or do something else altogether.

I’m with Gene, staying where I am. I’m just hoping for less spam! I know you care though, and I’m betting you get every angle figured out!

Seems like a lot of work to figure it all out. And, why? Is this really an improvement?

Sue said...

It sounds like a pain.

I noticed that too that it still said draft so I just clicked on the update icon on my browser and it changed to published.

I'll be coming back to your posts on this subject should I ever switch. Thank you for taking the time and sharing.
