 * If I edit the timestamp on a post so that the date is in the near future, say
   after midnight or nidday the next day, will the post be visible automatically
   from that time?
    If not, is this possible please? Thank you

 * Hey, I’m no expert, but that seems to be how it works. I often set a post to 
   go up just after midnight of the next day, and then it appears on the site at
   that time the next day.
