Back Date WordPress Posts With The Post Timestamp
A WordPress blog has the ability to to edit the published date of a post to an earlier date. This WordPress Guide shows how to use the Post Timestamp option. This may be useful if you have articles from a static website that you want to incorporate into the archives of a your WordPress blog. Or of you want to give your blog a more established look.
It is very easy to edit the published or post date of a WordPress post. To do this when creating a new post or editing an existing one, look over to the bottom right side for the Post Timestamp. You can place any date in there you want even back to a date before the blog existed. Your posts will show on the main page in chronological order based on the Timestamp.
If you don’t have more than 10 posts they may stay on the first page of the blog until enough new posts are made to push them off because a default 10 posts show on the main blog page. You can specify the number of post shown on the fist page in Options, Reading, under Blog Pages edit the “Show At Most xx Posts”.
Using the WordPress Post Timestamp is useful to build your blog content quickly but still give it the look of a well established blog.

This is a very helpful tip….especially if one is going to be away from the computer for awhile. It allows you to bank some pre-written posts, and specify publishing dates.
Jeff, thanks for posting this.
