Posting in advance

July 28th, 2014
Hi, I am going to be away from my computer for two weeks soon but i still want to post a photo each day. Can I somehow post in advance? Do i just put a different date on each photo and do they come up one each day or all together? Hope someone can help this rookie. Leigh

Newbie here as well, but noticed that you can set the date for each pic separately. I don't know if you can do it in advance, but after atleast! @judyleigh

As far as I'm aware, that works! I've only ever posted a day in advance and there was no problem doing that. They'll all come up on the day you post them though!

you can put them against different days, but they'll show up all together in your followers' feeds... you can't set it up so they only pop up in the feeds on the day for which they are posted, if you know what i mean... if you want to avoid clogging up your followers' feeds, you could post just 2 or 3 a day now and when you get back until you're caught up...

You can only post photos up to three days in advance. So if today's the 28th, then you could date your photos for the 29th, 30th and 31st, but would have to wait until tomorrow to post and date a photo for the 1st of August.

Save your photos on your phone or tablet and post each day using those pics you saved.

That's interesting to me as well, thank you - I've occasionally posted a day in advance and wondered if there was a limit.

@webfoot can you post as many as you want later then? I've only skipped one day for now, but next week might be a few more..

@tande Yes. I've fallen several weeks behind. You can always back date photos, but can only post photos up to three days in advance.

I suspect there may be a limit as to how far back, but I accidentally posted a photo that had an exif date of a couple of years ago on it and it posted. Took me awhile to find it when it didn't show up in my feed right away, but I eventually found it.

When I was on a vacation, I posted in advance but set the photos private only so that it will not flood my followers' feeds. Then on that certain days, I edit it and put in on public.

Demonstration of my Newbeeness - I have been only posting pictures that I have actually taken on that day. I have been pushing myself to have the camera in my hands daily _ nice to know that when it is not a possibility that I can post ones taken earlier. DUH! I am a NUBE.

I was exactly the same when I joined. I would rush out to take ANY photo just to be able to post on the day. I tried to get a decent shot but it was certainly rushed. I have now learnt my lesson!!!

@snappychica @quicksilver Yes I find I do just that, but it gets me out and walking and its amazing what happens out and about even in this rural area.
I did change the date on two that I posted on the same day .... I put the wrong date, I was looking at the time 16.08 hrs and thought it was 16 Aug, I did get in an awful muddle.
