  Go to the post’s edit screen. In the box publish box click on ‘Edit’ nest to the ‘Schedule For’ date. Change the date to today’s date and time. And then click ‘Publish’.

  Your post should then be published immediately.

  Thanks for the reply. On my screen, though, the “Publish” button is no longer clickable. The only clickable button says “Done” (with the editing.) When I click on it, the screen just goes back to saying “Scheduled.” At no point do I get a clickable “Publish” option once I’ve scheduled it.

  You need to be an editor or admin to change that. If you are just an author, you need to get one of them to change it for you.

  Thanks, raincoaster – this sounds like a strong possibility since I share the blog with three writer-friends, one of whom is listed as the administrator. I’ll talk with her!
