Info Showing Your Oldest Blog-Post Kickoff - In Addition To The Residual Inward Opposite Order.

Blogger doesn't accept an choice to display your posts inward contrary social club - thence that the oldest postal service is first, as well as the most recent postal service is last.  

But this article describes displaying your posts inward this way past times manipulating their postal service dates.  And it links to an article close around other possible options.

Previously I've discussed the options for giving your spider web log a habitation page.  One choice is to organise the post-date for each of your posts, thence that you lot command the social club posts are displayed in.

This is slow plenty to do, although at that spot are a yoke of risks that you lot take away to live aware of equally discussed below.

Blogger Posts as well as the Post-date

Each Post inward your spider web log has a date-time value, which is called its "post-date".   Normally , this is educate to the date/time when you lot let out the postal service for the outset time.  But you lot tin change the postal service appointment for whatever post, as well as you lot tin practice this either when you lot let out it first, or after on.

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

• The postal service that appears outset when a reader visits your spider web log is the 1 alongside the most-recent Post-date.

• If you lot accept to a greater extent than than 1 post-per-screen, thence the next-most-recent postal service is on the concealment underneath the outset one.  And thence the second-next-most-recent, etc.

When a reader is looking at whatever post, as well as they click Newer-Posts or Older-Posts, the post-date is used to determine what posts to exhibit on the adjacent screen.

This way that you tin brand your posts appear inward the social club than you lot wrote them (ie outset postal service first, 2nd postal service second, etc) past times changing the Post-date thence that:

• your outset postal service has the most-recent post-date, 
• your 2nd 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 1 postal service ever appear first, as well as permit the other posts appear inward the social club that you lot posted them.

How to brand your posts appear inward contrary order, using dates

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

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

• If you lot desire your posts is strictly contrary order, you lot take away to plough over each 1 a appointment that is before than whatever existing post.  This is quite easy:  simply expect at the listing of posts inward Posting > Edit Posts as well as scroll to the bottom of the listing to run into the oldest appointment used thence 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 practice this, become to the Layout tab.  
• Choose Blog-posts (edit).    
• Un-tick the appointment nether "Post Page Options".
  

4  Remember to brand the same appointment alter for every postal service you lot write from forthwith on.

Also, if it mightiness live relevant for your readers to know when you lot wrote a post, brand surely that you lot ever manually pose the appointment into each post.

Risks of this approach

If you lot follow this approach, you lot volition plough over a far-in-the-past appointment to pages that you lot never desire to appear first.  There is a run a jeopardy that Google mightiness convert the information behind older posts at around time.   If your post-dates larn besides far into the past, thence it's possible that they mightiness non larn by good this.   This could live for reasons that seem logical, or because of things that are totally to practice alongside the internal workings of Blogger's database, as well as brand no feel to you lot at all.

Also, live aware that Google mightiness select to strength the post-date to appear on posts at around fourth dimension inward the future.  At the moment, they don't:  it's your choice.   But you lot cannot guarantee that they won't alter their minds close this, 1 day.   (Personally I think they likely won't, as well as I've built a yoke of "real" websites that brand role of the technique described here.   Just recall it's non guaranteed.)

An Alternative Approach

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

He has also latterly shared another approach he found, which uses a script to manipulate elements inside Blogger, as well as thence is to a greater extent than robust than his outset approach.
