You generally write your article and publish its right off, or if you write more than 3,4 posts a Day in this case you either schedule them or save it to the Draft. And publish it at the right time.
Why not use those completed or scheduled posts to shows as upcoming posts on your website. This lets the visitors know What is now coming next.
For this, I am using a SOUP – Show off Upcoming Posts Plugin which lists your future posts on the website. It uses your scheduled posts for listing.
I am assuming that you have already scheduled some of the completed posts if you don’t know how to do it you can check my earlier post – How to Schedule Posts in WordPress without plugin.
