Kato, yes might be an idea. Of course, conversely, if it's not next to the Publish button there's a risk that when finally publishing a draft, I forget and hit Publish instead of Publish Now.

It's six of one.. with the Publish Now button where it is, I might inadvertently update the time when I edit an old post; if it's moved, I might inadvertently hit Publish instead of Publish Now when publishing a draft.

Really, Blogger ought to sort it, but until they do, for me personally I prefer KCT because it minimises the chances of my getting it wrong. It's up to the individual what they find easier to use, of course.

True, there is the danger of just clicking the "Publish Now" when you don't want to. Maybe I should suggest that the author push it over to the right side so it's not next to the publish button.

Thanks Kato and Kirk.

I think both "Keep Current Time" and "Publish Now" have their pros and cons.

I personally prefer KCT because I sometimes have cause to edit old posts e.g. to fix links that have changed. The "Publish" button with KCT will publish the edited post with the original date (the weird thing today being exceptional).

If I have a "Publish Now" button, my concern is that when editing an old post I just forget and inadvertently hit "Publish Now" instead of "Publish", simply out of reflex as it's the last button along - and the edited post then gets its date/time changed, which isn't what I want. That simply can't happen if I use KCT. So I think it's more "idiot proof" for someone like me.

For those who rarely if ever edit old posts, but still start draft posts a day or more before they publish them, I can see that Publish Now may be a simpler alternative.

Kirk - you sure are dedicated to your craft arentcha (though of course we all appreciate the results). Don't you ever stop spanking that monkey? Take a break and let someone else do it for a change. Or something...

I think I kinda like the "Publish Now" method kato links to.

Although I guess I can't really comment on the user experience of either, as I'm too busy spanking my monkey...err I mean working with greasemonkey and other things to ever create draft posts.

For what it's worth, there is a script that simply adds a "Publish Now" button which sets the post time to the current time when you click it to publish. A nice solution to the problem.
