| Whoops. I guess I should have experimented with the preview feature before making recommendations about the pending feature. I confess I haven't used the preview mode for fear that what I wrote couldn't be saved indefinitely, which is the case with say, amazon previews or previews in Yahoo clubs. Just so I'm clear, if I write something in preview mode and hit post, it appears on my page indefinitely, invisible to all but me, to be tinkered with ad nauseum, until I hit "edit" and "post"? If that's the case, I wouldn't need to use the pending feature to do that. Sorry.
Yeah, that's what preview does. I guess some documentation of all this might help. Probably Alex is the only one who might use pending (so the equinox post shows up exactly on the equinox, say, without him having to hang around the house for the exact minute in order to post it himself.) But with a few more additions I'm going to use pending to make a sort of reminder feature so that I can post messages (on a private page maybe) to myself that will appear at certain points in the future to remind me of things. Like a datebook that knows where it is in time.

Should come in handy.
