Anyone know how to schedule posts for publishing at a specified date, much like Tumblr and Wordpress?

This seems like it might be a handy extension to add at some point.

EDITED POST (October 2, 2012 at 10:07 am) after re-reading the original post.

You'll need to post date your entry and then you'll need to filter your data source by date field.

earlier than now

This will publish all entries that are before the current date and time.

So, if you you schedule a post for October 2 at 11:00pm, it will post at on the website at that time and all the posts before that time will be posted as well. All posts that are post dated will NOT show up, and will be posted when the current date reaches the publish date and time.

Does that make sense?

You should be able to place a date field in your section and filter you data source so it doesn't show the post until the date specified has arrived/passed. "equal to or later the {$today}" sort of syntax in the Datasource Date Field

There was jquery date picker extension in use for displaying a sort of calendar selection drop down on your date field.

what you are after is definitely possible.

EDIT

Nice one speedy :)

Updated my comment above to properly answer the initial question.

Put a date field in your section and in your DS, filter this date field with earlier than {$today} {$current-time}, {$today} {$current-time}

Or you just write "equal to or earlier than now".

Isn't that the same thing as doing earlier than now?

earlier than now works since now is accepted in strtotime.
