To change the date on your post to whatever you want it to be, go to the post editor and where you see 'Published on' in the Publish module, click the 'edit' link near the date. Just change it to what you want it to be and then click the 'Update' button.

To change the tagline, on your Dashboard go to Settings/General and edit what it says in the "tagline" box, and remember to save your changes.

This is my first attempt at blogging and I can't find the answer to two problems I am having...

1) After the title, "The Hourglass", there is an annoying tag line of something like "the best little blog on wordpress.com" - How do I edit that to something else/get rid of it altogether?

2) My first post has the wrong date and I'm not sure why. I think I started a draft on the 10th, before Mother's Day, and then once I had talked to Mom on that day, I finished the post and published it. What did I miss?

THANK YOU!!

@sseuja - for hypothetical questions, it's a better idea to use the 'off topic' forum here as the other forums are for support issues.

Thanks, guys. It was just a hypothetical situation. Someone else's situation led me to wonder about it.

Understood about the order but if they want them out of view why not make them private.

@sseuja - as far as I know, if you put a post into draft (or not take it out of draft) and then publish it (publically) then it will show up newly in RSS. I'm not sure about email. I've done this myself from time to time and people are usually able to see it.

@dribblingpensioner - while I can't know sseuja's reason, a lot of people like to backdate posts so that they appear in the correct chronological order or so that they 'fall back' out of view - depending on whether they want them to be seen or not! :)

I'm sure they will but why ? would you do that, if i visit your blog why would i go through all your posts, most people look at the last 3 or 4 posted.

If I backdate a post when publishing it, will my followers/subscribers receive the post at all in RSS or email? For further clarity, by "backdate a post when publishing" I mean publish a post at an earlier date than the date of the post's initial (draft) writing.
