Is there a way to post a bit of content so it shows up at a specific time in the future?

I would like to write several bits of content that automagically show up at specified times in the future, based on what I type in the Authored on: field. The thing is that I'd like to write several pages of content at one sitting, then timestamp them for various times in the future. When those times come around, it should look like I just posted em right then. Right?

I thought I was being clever by using "Views" to only show posts that have a "Authored on:" time of less than now(). Trouble is that if a user uses search, they can find the posts.

Any way to *completely* hide future-posted content?

Thanks!

The Scheduler module will allow you to publish content in the future, until then leave it unpublished and noone should see it.

There are several approaches and solutions for this depending on the use case. There are some good write ups available on approaches with CCK eg http://drupal.org/nyobserver

For a simple out-of-the box solution see the http://drupal.org/project/scheduler
