  The title pretty much says it. Is there a way to make my psots appear from oldest first, then newer as it goes down? So, I’d have my original post appear first, etc?

  As you are attempting to do the opposite of what blogs are designed to do this is your only option http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/04/how-to-write-a-book/

  WordPress.com cannot properly do what you want without a manual solution like Timethief has mentioned or constantly altering the timestamps of your entries. It can be down if you have your own server and a copy of WordPress from wordpress.org though if is completely necessary for you, but not here at wordpress.com

  I came up with a way. Thanks for your help Timethief.

  And I really hope that this Trent isn’t the same as on acornrack…that would be funny…

  If not, thanks to both of you ^^

  Thanks for the thanks. :)

  As for our Moderators both are career moderators who can be found online moderating other communities too. ;) As for specifics, well, I let Trent declare, or not … lol … ;)

  Of course you are and of course you should be on staff. Automattic has an attractive benefits package as well as wages/salaries and BBQ. ;)

  I actually only moderate wordpress.com and bbpress.org right now. Before that was NucleusCMS. Those are the only ones I am really involved with!

  @Trent
  Sometimes, especially on Saturday, I like having some fun … lol .. ;)

  But setting that aside, I truly do believe that Moderators should be on staff. I concur with boles http://urbansemiotic.com/2007/02/12/how-to-provide-online-tech-support/

  If any company gives volunteers duties, powers, privileges and responsibility for making judgment calls that are the same as what their staff have, then the volunteers do have grounds to ask the courts to declare them to be “employees” who are entitled to wages/salaries, benefits, etc. What will really clinch in the courts is if the company suggests volunteers commit to scheduled hours of service or give them the power to, in our case, suspend or delete blogs.

  BTW I have no interest in becoming a Moderator myself https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=5419&page=12&replies=349#post-65542

  I used to moderate the phpnuke boards. That was an interesting experience. :)
