Setting the "backdate entry" option (available for each journal entry in an individual journal) ensures that the entry will appear only on pages where its placement is based on the date and time you specify.
The date and time of a backdated entry does not need to be in the past. If you post an entry dated in the future, you will need to use the "backdate entry" option on each new post you make. This will allow you to continue posting with a normal date and time. Otherwise, Blurty will not accept your entry and you will recieve errors.
Note: If you recieve these errors and did not purposely set a post to the future, please see http://www.blurty.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=26 for information on how to correct the dates of your entries so your posts are accepted.
On someone's friends page, the placement of your journal entries is based on when you actually posted them, not on the dates and times you entered. Checking the "backdate entry" box prevents your entry from appearing on those pages.
The option doesn't have any effect on your own recent entries pages, because sorting of the entries there is always based on the date and time you specify.
The "backdate entry" option can be selected on the full Update Journal page ( http://www.blurty.com/update.bml?mode=full ), and can later be modified when you edit the entry.
When you use this option, your entry is not accessible by paging back through certain views. You can always find an entry through the calendar view, however.
