  form view
- **Schedule Wizard**: User-friendly wizard to set the publication date
- **Visual Feedback**: Information banner displays scheduled date on the
  form

- Extends `blog.post` model with scheduling fields and methods
- Includes a transient model `blog.post.schedule.date` for the
  scheduling wizard

- The cron job uses `_publish_scheduled_posts()` method to process
  scheduled posts

  and multiple record writes
