What is Buffer and how to combine it with Blogger
Buffer is a service that allows you to store the notifications you cast from your blog to your social channels (Twitter, Linkedin or Facebook) for publication following is a schedule. In this article I give the keys to combine it with Blogger.
One of the tasks as bloggers have to consider, is to promote not only the new post, but the above, as long as they maintain in full force and interest. In my case, what I did was open my post and click the Twitter button. Of course, not knowing if it was the best time or the best time. Also I did not like suddenly Tweet 3 or 4 items. So finally it was all a bit random and not follow a specific pattern. For me it has been a great discovery and I encourage you to implement it in your daily make as a blogger.
What is the idea?
The idea is simple. We continue by clicking on the Twitter button as if we were to publish but instead of "Tweet", Buffer will press the button, so that is not published at the time, but following a schedule and based on previous stock you have on Tweets for launch from Buffer. Ideally, go fill your Buffer and make 1 full week.
If you have the Twitter button you can also send your post to Buffer using the right mouse button, or by a new icon that will display in your browser to read it.
What does BUFFER against direct notification to your followers?
As I said before, Buffer is as a collector of the notifications you want to convey to your followers on Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin. Instead of launching a direct notification, it is stored to be launched following a few hours a day. Of course not everything has to go through the buffer, you can continue to report to your followers, as has been done so far. Remember to sync your new publications with your social channels can use IFTTT (recommended) or TwitterFeed.

"Buffea" your first post using the Twitter button
Do the usual, ie see a post and click on your button Twitter. Just click it and watch you Buffer button appears next to the button for Twitter. To add to Buffer should indicate by what account (Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn) you release it (may be three).
Now just send the Buffer tickets that you want to promote during the week, so that you have more time to new content, pending comments or simply respond sports, lol.
Install Buffer on your SMARTHPHONE
The mobile application allows you to share with Buffer any web address you're visiting. Plus you have access to your schedule can view the status of Buffer and statistics of each notification released. I have it installed and check the soil often.

How to know what time notify my followers?
This is the big question. What we want is that the impact of our notice have more effect. This is achieved notice in those times of the day where you have more active followers. For this statistics online services are able to provide this data. Furthermore, these services can automatically set Buffer schedule adjusting those hours more active followers.
