    Description

      In Blog/WebHome
      1. Writes a title in 'create new post'
      2. Click 'Create'
      3. Set the publication date to a certain time in the future
      4. Tick publish
      5. Save & View
      The post is published with the future date.

      Users get confused because a future date is usually understood as 'the date the blog post will appear on my blog', the physical publication date. One more confusing part is the tick-box that is placed between elements.

      Suggestions:

      • Insert two new lines, one after 'yet', one after check-box.
      • add a description text after the date. "This date will be considered as publish date, post will be visible if check-box is ticked."
      • Build the date as a scheduler.
        Eg: 'schedule my post to be published on:'
