Bumping newly edited older articles in Textpattern

Published on 10^th July 2009 Estimated Reading Time: 1 minute

Whether this is intended or not, you can put a pre-existing article to the top of your website's Atom or RSS feed by saving it as draft while it is being modified before restoring its status to live again. This is handy when you have got permanent articles that you are enhancing over the course of time, and you want to give your visitors a reason to return and maybe even prompt search engines too. Though new articles will achieve this always, it's nice to see that older articles don't get lost in space either. While this may be a hack, I am using Textpattern for permanent postings, rather than blogging, so I remain well pleased to see the availability of the feature.
