You can modify the publish date of an unpublished or published blog post in the Publishing Options tab of the content editor.
Please note: modifying a post's publish date may cause external RSS emails for your blog to include the post because the blog's RSS feed will be changed.

New blog posts with a publish date in the future will not appear on your live site or trigger blog notification emails until that date.
