Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire in Site Updates

OK, one more gift from the Late Night Gods:

Entry backdating!

There's now an optional field to enter a backdate for your entry. If no date is provided, it will just use the current date and time when published. Adding a date (which must be in the past) will change the publish date. Keep in mind that bookmarks are sorted by the published date, so backdating entries will make things fall off of the radar.

All right then, I'm outta here, after I write a quick historical entry just to make sure this works....

I noticed that you've also changed the layout on the profile pages. Thanks!

Kate March 27, 2014

I think this made me pregnant.

"but HOW!!??"

"It is the mystery of the dance..."

Kate Teflon Superhero ⋅ March 27, 2014

It was THAT good.

NO!!! You, Sir....well you are just beyond words. I am in such awe of you at the moment. I humbly extend my last MoonPie to you in sheer gratefulness.

Nin March 27, 2014

Also, you have now left me completely satisfied. Snuggle?

simple mind Nin ⋅ March 27, 2014

I love it. You know what would be really handy? AN IPAD APP.

banker chick March 27, 2014

Hooray! I've been waiting for this, thanks!

And so The Time Wars begin anew...

crystal butterfly March 27, 2014

So, if you write a back dated entry is it going to be at the end of the bookmarks buried in read ones or will it still show up at the top for friends to read?

simple mind crystal butterfly ⋅ March 27, 2014

It will be buried. I may look at some sort of way to give users a choice of whether or not it should show up as new - if you're archiving old entries, you probably don't want your readers getting bogged down - an issue PB has had from the start.

Nin simple mind ⋅ March 27, 2014

I have......a plan. In theory, if one were to create a book for, say, 2010, make it private, post all of 2010s entries (with correct dates now) THEN make it public it shouldnt flood our bookmarks. Am I correct in this thinking?

Cat Mommy Nin ⋅ March 28, 2014

You are correct. This is how I'm doing it too. :)

MageB March 27, 2014

ConnieK March 27, 2014

Nice Springsteen quote. Still have no idea why anyone would need to backdate, but you seem to have pleased a large number of people. :)

Deleted user March 27, 2014

This is a nice feature. Thank you. It is also interesting to observe the evolution of the site.

Radiate March 27, 2014

Thank you! Now I can post my back up of OD! I'm excited. I've been feeling very incomplete without my ten years of back story, even though I cringe now reading what I wrote in high school. Thank you!

Everything Good Rebecca March 27, 2014

I like.

Mermy Cullen March 27, 2014

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is there a way yet to center photos into the middle of the page?

using <center> does not work?

Cat Mommy Mermy Cullen ⋅ March 28, 2014

There has always been a way to center images:

<img src="URL" class="center-block"/>

Just replace URL with a direct link to whatever image you're posting.

simple mind Mermy Cullen ⋅ March 28, 2014

What Cat Mommy said. This is also in the FAQ (now linked in the menu), along with all sorts of other awesome info.

Deleted user March 27, 2014

Do any of you smart peeps on here know what size picture makes a good avatar on here? I think my pictures are blurry because they are too large.

Thank you!

Cat Mommy Deleted user ⋅ March 28, 2014

Your av looks fine to me especially on your profile page where you can see it in a bigger size. I find that if you pick images that aren't too busy (like mine, it has one clear subject) then they work in both the small "forum" versions and the larger profile ones.

Jack March 27, 2014

This was one of the main features I was hoping for.

Deleted user March 28, 2014

That is cool - I wish on the bookmarks that after you read them they go away - so you can see your other bookmarks to read - it is a lot of scrolling...what are your thoughts?

Raven March 28, 2014

FInally! Thanks, dude! See, I go away from the site for a bit, and I come back to have my favorite feature finally in place! Yay!

Mermy Cullen March 29, 2014

OMG I felt so dumb I knew that,blames it on "Old Age" Thanks!!

The more things change March 29, 2014

Very helpful! Now my pregnancy entries are in order and my OCD can rest easy.

Indigo March 29, 2014

Thank you :)
all the background and formatting disappeared since last night... thought maybe it was my phone but it's not.

Indigo March 29, 2014

I went into settings and changed the layout theme and now is OK... but not sure which one I had it on so I can tell you.

ThoughtsAfter March 30, 2014

Question: I'd like to add an entry and have it appear in the book's chronological order...is that possible? (I mean in line with its true December date, not with March entries.)

Purple_Sunshine April 04, 2014

I was hoping this feature would be added (for catch-up entries). Thanks for your efforts!
