Hey, Blogs, WordPress Scheduler Works Great, You Don't

Enough is Enough…Stop Blaming Wordpress | CenterNetworks.

Embargoes, embargoes, embargoes.

What are we going to do with them?

Personally, I am all for them and I respect them, but there are a few blogs out there who are liberally discussing how much they hate embargoes, which is all fine and dandy. At least they are open about the fact that they don't give a damn about embargoes. What irks me is when blogs say they will respect embargoes and then break them.

That makes you a liar and as Allen Stern of CenterNetworks said, it is time to stop putting off the blame on WordPress, or any other CMS for that matter. The blame is on you, not WordPress.

I have been scheduling posts since the day I have started blogging, even posts that were under embargo, none of those posts went before the time I scheduled them. Want to know why? Because I scheduled my post correctly and when I installed WordPress I made sure of the fact the internal clock was correct. Now, Pages Are Social nor TechGeist are big blogs, but a lot of big blogs are seemingly having "issues" with scheduled posts.

Bull.

First off, if you schedule posts regularly (like some big blogs claim to do for editing and time purposes) you know if your WordPress scheduler works or doesn't work. It doesn't just stop working "inconveniently" for an embargoed post. Once again, I have used the WordPress scheduler numerous times with no issue, you are the one messing up, not WordPress.

So stop with the blame game, its getting old and no one believes you anymore. You are just making the people who respect embargoes look bad.

Thanks for that.
