Is it cheating to post at 12:16am and count it as the previous day’s post? After all, for my consciousness, it’s the same day.
When I kept a journal religiously, I often fretted about this. “What date should I put on this?” Perhaps “fret” is the wrong word. Or maybe it is: when I was in Poland the first time (96-99), I wrote daily. One entry was along the lines of “I’m just writing this to keep my string of entries going.”
I guess this is something similar…
I used to pay attention to this. And then it struck me: the time that is attached to the post is the time I first paste it onto my blog. But I always start writing it off line. And I often publish it an hour or two after I first paste it in. And all this happens before and after midnight. So which time should count???
Now I’m loose about it: I publish once within a twenty four hour period. Time is irrelevant. Many Ocean readers tune in at breakfast. There’ll be a post. Time notations do not matter.
