  I have been wondering about this for some time,
  now it is time to get a page running and setting it up.

  What I would like is for a data base of text files,
  to become posted 1 per week.

  I have a folder documents.
  I plan on have a WordPress page, either hosted here or self-hosted.

  How is the best way to have an Autonomous system,
  where by these files are sequentially blogged.

  I am guessing for one I must host them all remotely
  and not on my own system, unless I left it on 24/7.

  Thanks!

  Autoposted material is not possible at WordPress.com really, so you will need to buy hosting somewhere else and set that up with software from WordPress.org.

  there must be a method.

  does wordpress support post via e-mail?
  then I just need to figure out how to automate e-mails hah!

  You could prepare one or more ahead of time and schedule them to post at some future point:

  thank you for one solution. but I have hundreds and wouldn’t mind if it happened while I am away from the pc.

  so I guess if the site cannot support script.

  how could I host the text files (poems) somewhere and have them posted,
  using a word press based site? 1 every 3 days lets say.

  thank you
