weird - sometimes the date shows when I started the review, other times when it was posted

Depends (I think) on if you save it as a draft or not. Once saved, it seems to lock in that date, regardless of when you publish the final entry. At least that's what I kept running into.

 

I write all of my reviews offline now, then only put them in the blog when publishing them.

 

Good review, by the way! Keep 'em coming.

What I've been doing is setting up a draft entry for the next review whenever I publish one. As the week goes by I play the game and edit the review a few times.

 

I started the review of Star Fire before I posted the bit about The Spazmatics, maybe that's why the Star Fire review has the correct posting date.

 

Writing them offline is an idea, though having them online is convenient as I often tweak them at work during lunch.

 

Thanks! Cabana EP+ is about done, will probably be posted by Wednesday. The UA bundle is after that - I suspect it may take longer than a week to review the 3 games. Hmm - just realized you cannot buy the games separately.

Here's a way around that then (which I've also used):

 

Compose your entry online. When you're ready to publish it, create a new entry, and copy/paste the text over to the new one, and publish that. Then delete the original draft version.

Sure you can.

That's an idea. I'll try that for the next one, though my cannonfire update may take care of the date for Cabana.

 

I was looking in games, not reproductions.

That's what I ended up having to do. I tried posting it first to see what would happen since I'd added the Cannonfire entry, like I had added The Spazmatics entry before. This time the date did not change and the post showed up as the 2nd most recent blog entry instead of the most recent.
