good idea.

Oh, I see. So I technically could create the thing, change the timestamp in the RCS file (or on, depending) and have the posts show up at the time I edit / touch / whatever I set them to (?).

That's a nice feature that's in WP, and blosxom has as a 3rd-party script. … reply

Ahhh, that change to BlogPlugin is really nice. Took a few minutes to figure out what format the date took, but then i went "Doh! check the TestEntry0 for the format", and voila, it even takes seconds - very cool.

Thank you thank you thank you, you just made my week :). … reply

Oh, oops, meant to say that maybe it should be documented - the date format I mean, here it is, just for that reason:

Date: 31 Feb 2003 - 00:01

(impossible date, but it makes it easy to search, and sticks out wink ) … reply

Oh, yea. Forgotten to mention the datetime format. But as soon as you create a new BlogEntry you will see it anyway as it is added automatically. Never mind. I could easily add more datetime formats snarfing them from the TimeSincePlugin.... … reply

Whatever turns your crank :). Well, you'd probably get actual requests for it, so might as well be proactive about it I guess. Again, thanks a whole bunch :). … reply
