I regularly post-date entries to my blog by changing the published time in my writing client to when I want the post to appear. Since switching from Wordpress, I've found that Drupal will publish anything even if its date is set in the future.

I've tried using scheduler to achieve the same thing, but can't seem to get it working. I have enabled scheduled publishing for my role and content type and checked the option "Alter published on time" in hopes that it would make the scheduled time match whatever I sent as the published time. It's not working as I had hoped.

Is there any way to use this module (or any other way for that matter) to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thanks!

I have to try that myself, since I never used the drupal XMLRPC stuff. How do you publish you blog entries, which program do you use?

I can not test this since I do not have a XMLRPC enabled blog editor. But I think I know what you problem is: The publish time is not used for scheduling. Scheduler provides a separate publish_on input field. Does scheduling work at your site if you enter publish_on date via the node edit form?
