News!! Showing Your Oldest Blog-Post Showtime - In Addition To The Balance Inward Opposite Order.

Blogger doesn't accept an alternative to display your posts inwards opposite club - therefore that the oldest postal service is first, together with the most recent postal service is last.  

But this article describes displaying your posts inwards this way yesteryear manipulating their postal service dates.  And it links to an article most around other possible options.

Previously I've discussed the options for giving your weblog a domicile page.  One alternative is to organise the post-date for each of your posts, therefore that yous command the club posts are displayed in.

This is slow plenty to do, although at that spot are a distich of risks that yous need to live aware of equally discussed below.

Blogger Posts together with the Post-date

Each Post inwards your weblog has a date-time value, which is called its "post-date".   Normally , this is ready to the date/time when yous issue the postal service for the get-go time.  But yous tin change the postal service engagement for whatsoever post, together with yous tin practise this either when yous issue it first, or afterwards on.

The post-date is of import because it controls the club that posts are shown in:

• The postal service that appears get-go when a reader visits your weblog is the i amongst the most-recent Post-date.

• If yous accept to a greater extent than than i post-per-screen, therefore the next-most-recent postal service is on the covert underneath the get-go one.  And therefore the second-next-most-recent, etc.

When a reader is looking at whatsoever post, together with they click Newer-Posts or Older-Posts, the post-date is used to create upwards one's heed what posts to demo on the adjacent screen.

This agency that you tin brand your posts appear inwards the club than yous wrote them (ie get-go postal service first, 2d postal service second, etc) yesteryear changing the Post-date therefore that:

• your get-go postal service has the most-recent post-date, 
• your 2d postal service has the next-most-recent-date, 
• your 3rd postal service has the third-most-recent poste date
• etc

An alternative approach is to simply make i postal service ever appear first, together with permit the other posts appear inwards the club that yous posted them.

How to brand your posts appear inwards opposite order, using dates

1  Give your get-go Post a post-date (eg today), AND remember that date.

2  Give all other posts (even ones that yous write adjacent week, or adjacent year) a post-date that is before than the post-date yous picked inwards Step 1.

• If yous desire your posts is strictly opposite order, yous need to hand each i a engagement that is before than whatsoever existing post.  This is quite easy:  simply await at the listing of posts inwards Posting > Edit Posts together with scroll to the bottom of the listing to meet the oldest engagement used therefore far.

3  Turn off the post-date display on your posts (since the post-date won't brand sense, because you're manipulating the dates).

• To practise this, become to the Layout tab.  
• Choose Blog-posts (edit).    
• Un-tick the engagement nether "Post Page Options".
  

4  Remember to brand the same engagement modify for every postal service yous write from straightaway on.

Also, if it mightiness live relevant for your readers to know when yous wrote a post, brand sure as shooting that yous ever manually set the engagement into each post.

Risks of this approach

If yous follow this approach, yous volition hand a far-in-the-past engagement to pages that yous never desire to appear first.  There is a direct a opportunity that Google mightiness convert the information behind older posts at around time.   If your post-dates larn besides far into the past, therefore it's possible that they mightiness non create out good this.   This could live for reasons that seem logical, or because of things that are totally to practise amongst the internal workings of Blogger's database, together with brand no feel to yous at all.

Also, live aware that Google mightiness direct to forcefulness the post-date to appear on posts at around fourth dimension inwards the future.  At the moment, they don't:  it's your choice.   But yous cannot guarantee that they won't modify their minds most this, i day.   (Personally I think they belike won't, together with I've built a distich of "real" websites that brand purpose of the technique described here.   Just recollect it's non guaranteed.)

An Alternative Approach

Adam of Too-Clever-by-Half  has suggested a totally dissimilar way to display your posts inwards opposite order.   I haven't used it, but think that it has a lot of potential inwards around situations, provided yous are comfortable using Yahoo pipes together with RSS feeds to display things on your blog.

He has also late shared another approach he found, which uses a script to manipulate elements inside Blogger, together with therefore is to a greater extent than robust than his get-go approach.
