The default for all blogs is that NEW content appears at the top, pushing the previously written material further down. That way the freshest material is always on top. For many things, this works great. However, for a number of reasons, you may want to choose a different order for your blog posts. For example, if you are wanting to put a book about your family on a blog it means the whole thing would be backwards with the last page showing up first and the first page being way down at the bottom. That could be confusing for your readers.
One way to deal with this is to use the SCHEDULING function. The other tactic you can use is SIDEBAR LINKS.
On this blog, I use both.
When you write a new post, it will automatically be assigned the date and time that you push "Publish". But you can schedule each post to appear on any day or time you choose to assign it. That way you can move them up or down, ahead of or behind your other posts.
To do this, from the editing page of your post you will click on the words "Published on" over on the right side of the screen near the top.
That will bring up a calendar where you can select what date and time you want to assign to your post.
You can use this scheduling feature to have posts appear as "new" or put new material at the very start.
Experiment with it and see how you might use this to give your blog whatever sense of order makes the most sense to you.
