Sequentially or randomly schedule ALL draft posts for posting.

== Description ==
Ever imported or written a whole bunch of posts in draft status, then realized you needed to post them all over time?

If you've tried to do this manually, you know it takes a LONG time even using the Quick Edit.

Draft Scheduler solves this problem, allowing you to schedule ALL drafts to be posted based on your settings.

Usage:

* Choose from the 3 options
* Sequentially based on your selected interval (hours & minutes)
* Random draft posts at the interval you choose
* Fully random inside a daily time frame with a random or exact number of posts per day within a daily maximum you choose.
* All options also allow you to choose the start date. See Screenshots.
* Click Schedule Drafts and ALL posts withe status DRAFT will be scheduled.
* Now allows "UNDO" of most recent schedule for any non-published posts.
* New - Choose the number of random posts per DAY, per WEEK or per MONTH! Thanks to Brian Zeligson for contributing this code.

NB: I've said it before - ALL drafts will be scheduled, but there is now an undo option.

== Installation ==

1. Upload draft-scheduler folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Visit the Draft Schedule menu option under POSTS and setup your options.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I upgraded to 1.3 or later and can't find the Drafts Scheduler in Tools. What happened? =

It was suggested I move this to the POSTS sub-menu as it makes sense in there. Not sure WordPress gurus would agree, but that's ok.

= Can I schedule posts in another status besides draft?  =

Sorry, not in this version. In the future, it would be easy to add.

= Can I schedule posts in my Custom Post Type?  =

Yes! This was added in version 1.8

= Ok, can I set drafts to a status other than Future? =

Again, sorry, not in this version. In the future, it would be easy to add.
