I have just started using windows live writer and getting into writing my own blog and it is brilliant ! I noticed you can change the publish date to the date of the event rather than when you actually wrote it - which is also great. The only thing is I'd like to start my blog from January 2008 really such that when you look at archives in the blog all months are seen from January 2008 -> onwards. Could you please set this up for me ? Presumably the default is to run from the date you started your blog ?
