Um, it’s already built into WordPress. Just click Advanced Editing when creating a post, and you’ll see Edit timestamp. The post will not show up unti whatever time you have in the timestamp.
Thank you! Man I love and hate it at the same time when an answer is that easy. :-S

Now that I look at that feature more closely I am wondering if there is something more automated. For every post I have to turn on advanced editing and choose a date. Is there anything that would allow the program to post a new item say every 6 hours (Or until the queue runs out)?
thanks,

Probably the best thing would be to make sure the data in the queue is all uniformly formatted, then create a script to plug that straight into the database, adding 6 hours each time.
I’m not sure if I follow what Tahongawaka said about the script.
Here’s what I’d like to be able to do: create a post template containing a small script that will post automatically each day/week/whenever without me having to manually create a new post each time. This could be a thought of the day, pulling the text from a data file, or something similar.
Is there a way to set up a cron job to do this? Is there a plugin/hack that does this? Am I completely off my rocker?
