[resolved] Adding new entries that are old (4 posts)

    Hi guys!

    I've had a blog for the past five years, and it's all been hand coded, so I'm trying to switch over to WordPress.

    Now, I want to add the old entries into WordPress, but the old entries are from say "March 15 2004"; if I add it to WordPress, it'll come up as today's date.

    How do I change the date, can I do that?

    Can't you edit the timestamp?

    That's exactly what I did!

    I have news entries from all the way back to 2003 on my website. I just copied and pasted the text, modified the timestamp to the date on the original entries, and that was it! Even though the post IDs will not be in order, the site will list them according to the date they were posted. :)
