Set post date on publish
-
I am new to wordpress.
Is there a way I can specify the post date, so when I publish it will fall into place chronologically..?
Not the date I publish..
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. The date and time of publishing are the date and time that WordPress use to sort your posts:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/You can set a future date for a post to be published, or you can change the date of a post that is already published (although not recommended, as it will result in dead links, particularly in search engines).
Hope it helps!

Arg.. That sux..
In Blogger, it has a post date option.. Makes it very easy to catch up with last-weeks posts if you miss them.. I can choose a two-month-old pic from flickr and create a post from the day the pic was taken, not today..
I’m trying to re-build my blog, and have posts that will go back several years.. Without being able to specify a post date, everything will be random and out of order..

Sorry. I forgot to say you can set a date in the past for a post. That’s what I did for my blog which contains entries as old as 1998.

Read the support documentation I linked to earlier. Also, as I said, you can change the date of a post that is already published.

Oh, ok.. I understand now..
At first I thought that was only for future publishing, but you can use it to post to a past date as well..
Great! Thanks!
