  My questions is more over how can I set the default published date, right now it is currently set to the current day and time. I want to set the default date to something like dec 31 2020. Then i can manually set the date and time I want it to be published.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can’t set a default date. You just edit it each time you create a post.

  This is where you set your local timezone > Settings > General
  The default is UTC time and there is no setting for your to automatically set a default date and time for every post.

  If you want to schedule posts then see this entry for doing that manually on each post. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/
