Alright so I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep when this idea came to me.

I run a blog about chess and because of that it takes me several hours to annotate a game, sometimes I stretch the writing of the entry over a series of days to fit into my schedule. But while I'm writing it I would like to be able to tell the visitors who do come across that there is something new in the works.

Is it possible to use the MTEntryStatus combined with Javascript for me, or php for others? If so could someone give me a shove in the right direction?

Like, you want to show "coming soon" and it would be a listing of entries that are set to draft?  I'm sure you could do that, and it would probably be even easier if you're using the mysql backend.  Are you?

Unfortunately my hosting does not include an SQL database. Is it possible without the SQL backend?

Saturday traffic *bump* to see if anyone can help me.

I'm just going to throw this out there, it may or may not work with what you're doing.

Could you make a category called NotDone (or whatever) and another called Done? NotDone could be posts that are coming soon, while Done would be the finished post. For the NotDone category, you could just put the title on your site (for example



and exclude NotDone from your real page. Then when you are finished, just move the NotDone post to Done and it would move over into the done column.

Would this work?

That would indeed work and until I can find a setup with the actual draft status then I think I'll use it. Thanks for the help!
