Altering the Date of your Post

You may find it necessary to change the date of your post. The default settings publishes the post at the current date and time. You can alter this so that the posting date is different from the current date and time.

Why would you need to do this?

If you save your post as a draft, Blogger will keep the original date that you started the post. So, if you created a draft of a post and then finished a week later, it would possibly not appear at the top of your page if you had created other posts between the time you saved the draft and the time you published. This could cause confusion for your readers. You can alter the date so that it appears as a new post.

Also, you can think of a post as a web page. The contents of your post may not be something that would be described as a post. Look at the blog below:

Under Links on the right, you will see a link to Staff Development Contact Information. I added this information to the blog, but I did not necessarily want it to appear as a new post. I altered the date so that it would not appear at the top of the page.
