I received a question from someone in Bloggers and so I responded. He wanted to know why my posts came up right away and his did not. I knew it had to do with the time settings that are in Blogger and WordPress. I've spent some time on both and had struggled previously with it myself. I got a nice thank you note back.
It read like this: "You're right! I have the dates off of my posts. I have to think about this. Since most of my posts aren't date-relevant, I've decided to type dates into the post itself for the most recent week, and not to have dates otherwise associated with the posts. The reason is that when I see old dates associated with a post, the post sometimes feels 'stale' to me, even when there's no reason it should. So, I've been experimenting with this other approach. I see there's a downside here. Hmmm.. Thanks Lisa, that's really helpful. I turned my dates/times back on my blog, and you were right - the posts appeared in bloggers.com. It's good to have an expert friend!"
