Date

The date associated with a POST or PAGE is its creation date, stored in $Created. If the associated date is important and you want to enter the original time the idea occurred to you, you can enter it manually as $StartDate. The date that gets exported is $blogDate. $blogDate is calculated by an agent, and is equal to $Created unless $StartDate has been set.

Setting the displayed date manually
Do not set $blogDate manually, set $StartDate instead.
  • A POST will automatically show its created date automatically. To suppress this, use the NODATE export option.
  • A PAGE will not automatically show its created date. To force the date to show, use the DATED export option.

Your category notes sort their children by $blogDate.
