oops - publishing dates
So I just discovered a quirk of the Bear system. I guess if I save a post as a work in progress, that creates a publish date. And so if I finish writing that post a few days later and then hit publish, it's effectively backdated.
Which is ok, I'm not complaining. It's just a quirk I'm going to have to work around if I'm going to be doing anything like today's "things I've read this week" again in the future. Like maybe collect up links and notes about them and stuff and write a draft elsewhere, then when I'm ready to publish put it all in Bear, do a bit of tidying up, then publish.
Or just change the publishing date before I click publish. That might be simpler.
