They allow you to compose posts and schedule for them to be released. You can write multiple at a time and release on certain dates. Know it works for Twitter and Facebook. Probably works for blogs.Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02771292854292606156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-57673166677740205812012-04-15T14:49:09.453-07:002012-04-15T14:49:09.453-07:00Julie, your blog is one of 4 that I check every si...Julie, your blog is one of 4 that I check every single day!

I have missed you lately on the blog. You are in the top 2 of my favorites that I check daily. I have been sending little grumbly thoughts your way, but haven't gotten to beating you up because of that BIG move and that great family of yours (not to mention that adorable significant other!!!) I hope to be seeing you here more often.<br /><br />xo LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-66819785384781453872012-04-11T16:52:44.088-07:002012-04-11T16:52:44.088-07:00Im totally a planner but the rest of my family lik...Im totally a planner but the rest of my family likes to fly by the seat of their pants.

Seems like you're doing a great job. I have too many things that I want to do but I haven't made time for them lately. Reading is great, but I want to get to work on my quilts, too.

I have a faux moleskin journal with an elastic band that I keep clippings, notes, drawings/ideas in. That helps. I love Rachel's plan. Just need to do it. So, back to your book. I'm thinking I should be stocking up on striped fabrics?Auntie Pamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918427648338806731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-79966480446867182782012-04-11T09:47:38.614-07:002012-04-11T09:47:38.614-07:00Having a plan does help.

Just plugging food into the days, and making sure the same repeated items were spread-out, really made a difference; and it was good for the budget.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716690020687995783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-24313931109189470632012-04-11T09:07:54.241-07:002012-04-11T09:07:54.241-07:00I do miss all of your blogginess but life does get...I do miss all of your blogginess but life does get busy... especially if you are traveling/designing and writing books!!!

I just discovered it and it's really helping me keep track of all the things I have going on (both work, life and sewing projects). Who knows, it might help you plan all that stuff you have going on! Good luck with it all. :)Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972323949870573987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-1276940377399284602012-04-11T08:42:06.332-07:002012-04-11T08:42:06.332-07:00Good luck!

Of course, that would just lead to more stress but maybe we'd get things done long before they're due. Or not.
