How do i control post publish dates with hexo?

Question

I'd like to schedule some posts to be published in the future, and migrate some posts from other sites, which were published in the past.

I've tried modifying the unix file creation date for my source files, but that doesn't seem to do the right thing.

Answer 1

hexo controls the publish date (and other config options) in the source .md files. just add a date tag to the top of the file, for example:

title: page title
tags:
  - aTag
  - anotherTag
id: 418
categories:
  - aCategory
  - anotherCategory
date: 2013-11-06 06:40:12
