If you're reading this, we have a posting queue now!

Here's how it works:

OLD THOUGHT PATTERN: "I would post this skydiving kitten pic but I might write War and Peace later and then I wouldn't be able to post it today, which would be very sad."

NEW THOUGHT PATTERN: "I'll just click 'queue' instead of 'post now' and it'll be posted for me, just before midnight, if I haven't posted something else that day. Oooo, handy!"

Yes, it says your post will appear tonight. But no worries: if you post something better by then, it'll automatically wait for tomorrow night.

In addition, you can have multiple posts still in "draft" form. Your current post-in-progress has always been automatically saved for you as a draft. Now you can click the "drats" button, click "New Draft" and start a second post-in-progress. Start as many drafts as you need.

Sean and I think we've done this in such a way that some will value and benefit from it, and others will cheerfully ignore it, and everyone will be happy. Your feedback on the reality is welcome.

Ohhh. That sounds great! The Queue function is one of my favorite elements of Tumblr, and it makes even more sense here (in some ways).

Nice work gentlemen!
MOST EXCELLENT. As a champion procrastinator, I thank you. Well, I thank you eventually. Maybe tomorrow. ...Or next week.
What time zone are you using to determine midnight?
At the moment, Philadelphia time, but this is considered a bug. It will be the poster's timezone soon.
I like it. Don't post much, but I like it.
Do you think everybody's hoarding up their posts in the queue for tomorrow?

IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS!
The "drats" button, you say? ;)
Drat! Fie! mayhaps I shall post this anon!
I actually really want a drats button now.
The 'anti-like'.
That's a fun dichotomy; "like" vs. "Drats!"

For some reason I imagine the icon, instead of a thumbs-down, should be a little rat wearing a medieval hood and tunic.
And now I want a like button for that. :)
Neat! Thanks!
OR you can queue up something really embarrassing, or perhaps your gmail password and a pre-generated two factor key, in an effort to force yourself to post every single day!
Oh, well, yeah, that use case is so obvious I left it as an exercise for the reader. [nods]
