Technique: Another Blogger Trick

If you use Blogger.com for your blog and you've been writing pretty frequently, then I'd say the chances are good that you get tired waiting for an update to happen. Even when away from my rural dial-up access and settled in at a WiFi spot, I've found myself waiting for things to finish. But I realized a way around this. It uses Blogger's advance posting. When you're about to post your entry, treat it as something you want to post in the future - as in five minutes from now (I've experimented some and if the window is too short, like two minutes, it publishes as usual and makes you wait, as usual). The system saves your entry and says that it will post in a fraction of the time it takes to wait as it goes live.
