  I am moving from another blog service and want to bring all my old posts with me. I don’t see any way to change the date and time of posts on the new post page. Is i possible to post retrospectively in WordPress?

  At the editing screen, to the right, there’s a section marked “Publishing Status.” Below that is an option that says: “Publish immediately” (the default) and next to that is “Edit” If you hit the “Edit” option you can change the publishing date.

  Are you importing the posts? If so, the dates should come over, too.
