New Post: Blog - publish on a certain date

Can I set the publish date of a blog post?

I always assumed that setting Date in the Settings for a post would schedule publish of the article for the given date (like Wordpress or other blog systems). ... but it seems that it publishes the post right away, even if the Date is set in the future.

Is there any other way to schedule a post to be published? I'm i missing some obvious feature?

Thanks!
