Scheduler, JSTools, and PoorMansCron Modules for my Drupal Blog

I installed three new modules in my efforts to get my blog up to par with WordPress and BlogSpot. My wife Valerie, whose blog is at nothingbetterthanablankpage.blogspot.com, is a heavy user of the scheduling function. She does multiple blog entries then schedules them for daily release. I wanted to do the same thing, so I installed the following: Scheduler - this allows me to set a time to publish any node. JSTools - this was supposed to give me a nice JavaScript date selector, but after further inspection I see that this is not available in version 6.x. I will use the text date/time for now until I find a nice JavaScript calendar selector. PoorMansCron - this module runs a cron job on a regular basis. I set it up to run every 30 minutes.
