  Yes you can. You have only a few followers so far and I’m not sure they will get email notifications (but I think they will) if you publish (new) posts dated from some time ago. You certainly can do that in order to keep things in the chronological order when things occurred.

  The problem may be that the Reader may not pick up on your tags or categories. But I see that you have not been using either tags or categories except for the “fallback” uncategorized so that should not be a problem.

  Here is some info about using tags and categories for future posts:
