  I just started my blog here, but would like to do posts about things in the past – essentially backdating a post. Can that be done? Can one change the ‘posted’ date of a post?

  Easily. On the right-hand side of the Write or Edit box is an icon of a calendar. Click on it and you can set the datestamp to any time you want. Note that this will push you back on tag and category pages as well.

  Yes. Just change the date in the write window on the right side under Publish Status
