No Plugin Needed for Feed Delay

I recently saw a WordPress plugin that was designed to delay the publication of your WordPress feed by any specified time interval. While it is a good idea to carefully proofread your content before posting it, a plugin certainly is not required to do so.

As savvy WordPress users already know, WordPress has a built-in post-preview feature that enables authors to view their unpublished content as a published post. This enables authors to do any amount of proofreading and browser checking until they are satisfied with the results.

To do this, simply write your post as usual, and then click on the “Preview this post” button on the right-hand side of the screen. In older versions of WordPress (less than 2.5, I think), you actually need to save (without publishing!) the post first and then re-open it as if to continue editing. You will then see a “Preview »” link sort of hidden (due to poor CSS design) in the upper-right corner near the edit post field. Right-click on that link to open in new tab and you are good to go.

No extra plugin needed! :)
