Reading many of Eliyahu Goldratt's books [1] has taught me that
whenever there's an apparent conflict or contradiction, focus on the 
part that bothers you most.  In this case I think we ought to eliminate
the restriction of having blog entries be named by dates.  (This
doesn't mean they cannot be so named, just that we don't require it.)

Okay, now for a naive question, since I'm not an active blogger -- 
what's the reason behind having the blog entries named by date in 
the first place?  Perhaps we can find another way to solve that 
problem that doesn't require saving by date.
