If you click on a post's title (the Permalink), and you see the error message "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria," that's a WordPress 'design limitation' -- most of their servers don't handle dates before 1970 correctly. If you quit your browser and come back to this page once or twice, you might eventually log into a different server where the pre-1970 historical date error doesn't exist.
