 * Is there a way to create a post you want published a few days ahead, and have
   wordpress automatically publish it when the date arrives?
 * Example: I create a post today, June 15th, and save it. It contains information
   that needs to be available on June 19th. On June 19th @ 12am, WordPress publishes
   the post without user intervention.

 * That’s what I thought. I told my users to do that, and they said it didn’t work.
 * I tried it myself just now, and it works.
 * That’ll show me.
 * Thanks!

 * Odds are, they set the date/time fields but forgot to check the little box….
 * I can safely guess that since I forget to check the box quite frequently!
