I was told about scheduling blog posts years ago by the most widely read blog post writer at that time. He said you could write seven posts on Sunday and schedule them for the following week. that way you could get on with your busy working or travelling week, without worrying about missing your blog writing. Your readers could be sure that they would find a new post every day.
I have recently started doing this. It has several more advantages. Firstly, you don't feel you have to publish a half written post without the photos for fear of losing it when you shut the lid of your laptop or for any other reason if the website or the internet crashes.
If you have an afterthought, you have time, several days, in which to improve your post. You might add a country flag, anything to make the post more interesting and visually appealing.

Wikipedia is good for country flags.
Flag of Hong Kong
Photographer
At the beginning I was sometimes in a hurry and forgot the photographer's name. Then I had trouble remembering which site I had obtained the photograph from. Was it from the country, the capital city, or the person or building or museum named?
Simple Wiki gives you information fast and saves you from getting distracted by a long read.
Wikivoyage and Wikitravel give you more information.
Tripadvisor shows many photos. They are copyright but you can use them to recall which of two similarly named places or museums or hotels was the one you visited. you can also confirm whether your bad or good impression of a place was a one off, just your good or bad luck, because of your personality, or typical of what a visitor can expect.
Adding copyright
To be sure of not forgetting to add the copying the the copyright information correctly and not mis-spelling the name of the source or editor of the photo, instead of hunting for the source name and re-typing the name I copy the copyright details from the Wikipedia website. You can edit out lines around the information later.
