Entry tags:
==] Public Service Announcement [==
When I write my journal entries, I keep them as Private drafts because I tend to add to them from a variety of different places and devices. When it's all put together, I publish the posts as Public.
However, the way that LiveJournal does dates through Friend's Pages or RSS feeds is that the date and time the entry was created determines where it sits in the feed streams. This means if I've published a post I started 3 days ago, it'll appear 3 days back.
Manually editing the date/time in the post only affects where it shows up on my own journal, not through feeds. This is actually a good thing as many people will use a future date to keep important posts at the top of their journals, such as contact details.
All of this means that my posts will usually appear partway through a feed rather than at the time of publishing, unless you happen to be reading my journal directly.
