Auto Future Date allows you to quickly and easily schedule posts based on the last post on your site. A simple click on a link and your post will be scheduled for a future date based on a set of simple rules that you set up. I use this on a blog of mine where I write several posts at a time and want to spread them out rather than publishing them all at the same time. Future posts are great for this, but I found myself going back and forth to the calendar to schedule. When activated the plugin adds an “Auto” link right next to the link that you use to schedule a future post. Clicking on the Auto link makes an Ajax call that will set the date for your post at some point in the future, using rules that you set.
