   Hi,
   for a project I would like to post in the past, like 1775 but when doing this my date gets set to 1969. Is there a way to post before 1969?

   thanks!

   I am also working on an archive project with dates as far back as 1451. I want to use WordPress as my CMS, but I don't want to hack the source code. Here's my workaround:

   On any given day, there are 60x60x24 = 86,400 seconds. If you pick a day and map your past years onto the available seconds, then you have a lot of dates that you can keep in order.

   So I looked at the number of centuries, decades, etc. that I would need, and made out a key that tracks the seconds for Jan. 1, 1970. From midnight to one am is everything before 1500. From 1:00 am to 1::30 am is 1500-1550, etc.

   I have a date to archive, 1751. For my purposes, that's about 10:30 am, Jan. 1, 1970. Result:

   When WordPress evolves into a more versatile CMS, I'll change the date stamps. Meanwhile, I'm happy to be here.--gm
