  Hi raincoaster – I was trying to find out about this recently. Does it work if after publishing posts you change the dates of publication via the editing function?

  Thanks v. much.

  After a post is published, NEVER change the date on it because the date is part of the URL for the posts. When that URL is changed, then any links to the old URL at search engines will produce 404 not found errors and the search engines don’t like those, nor do visitors coming from search engines.
