for the post-to-the-future feature. Can you give me a link? Thanks. (I'm enjoying antville.)

There's not really a how-to for this feature yet - just a short message by me explaining on how to use it.

i posted a short how-to at macros.antville.org.

btw. i think it should be possible to enter the date in different formats or at least in a user-defined one (e.g. by adding the format parameter). but this feature is a little pandora's box, anyway... :)

however, i suppose miss katatonik was referring to the fact that one site which used that future thingie hogged the number one position on the antville.org root. its most recent post was like two days ahead or something.

here. there's even an entry for may 12 (as visitor cursor sharply noted in due course:-)). i dropped serveral comments on blogs yesterday evening, but this blog just stayed on top in the root list. i assumed it was because of the future events, but now i'm not so sure anymore, perhaps the problem lies elsewhere? others have noted that the root does not refresh sometimes even though it should. perhaps this is the same bug? on the whole, i'd prefer having blogs listed in two categories on the main page: (a) blogs with story most recently added (in the past), (b) blogs with comments most recently added (can you post comments to future stories? mind-boggling possibility!) i often get catatonically excited when i see one of my favourit blogs has been updated, and expect a new story, but then there's just a funny one-line comment. the need for a blog-to-the-future-feature actually is beyond me, i can't really get why this would be a necessary, or a good thing, to have.

this feature is hidden under the surface and not available in the out of the box site. its necessity obviously depends on the intention of the site owner. i could imagine loads of useful cases for it, like to-do-list, birthday calendar, schedule, programme of clubs or little cinemas etc.

personally, i love those antville sites that do something else than the average blog thing. it's just a matter of time till someone comes up with a great idea based on this feature.
