 * The plugin does a fine job scheduling posts (btw, it would save a lot of time
   if you wrote that the posts need to be in draft status before it can work).
    
   However – and this is a big problem – it completely strips posts of categories.
   It took me a few tries to realize that “Uncategorized” is causes by this plugin.
   So, bottom line – it’s a good idea that needs some more work.

 * Not sure why it should strip categories, it just makes WordPress publish the 
   post and nothing else.
    This will be looked into.
