It makes sense, though - the exact date doesn't matter most of the time, and in winter (no farming) I imagine it mattered very little at all. Thanks for the explanation!Packbathttp://packbat.net/w/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-89673962428383850902015-04-15T20:54:18.415-04:002015-04-15T20:54:18.415-04:00I did a quick google and this link came up:

There was a month-less period that January and February replaced, but it wasn't quite long enough to put two months there, hence taking days from other months.<br /><br />With no leap day yet the calendar wasn't anchored as firmly. When things got too far off the high priest was supposed to declare a special month. That... didn't work.<br /><br />Julius Caesar revised the calendar because it had drifted a lot.<br /><br />The modern calendar was revised because it drifted 3/4 of a day every century. It wasn't reset to the original though, but to when Christian feast days were determined. Still, it should only be, at most, a few days off the original April.chris the cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872875475212333027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-27545105188367608992015-04-15T11:44:19.595-04:002015-04-15T11:44:19.595-04:00Is April still around the same time of the year as...Is April still around the same time of the year as it was before January and February were added? I guess that makes sense, but it never occurred to me to wonder how adding months affected the scheduling of the other months.Packbathttp://packbat.net/w/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-84413328010318727452015-04-15T11:28:10.184-04:002015-04-15T11:28:10.184-04:00I have no idea.I have no idea.chris the cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872875475212333027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-38628581149990708512015-04-15T11:11:20.350-04:002015-04-15T11:11:20.350-04:00You have said you don't like leaving the top p...You have said you don't like leaving the top post as a money-related one for too long. So is there a way to pin the last post with other content to the top after a couple of days?
