What about the url? Will it change ?

No.. The url remains the same.. The only thing that changes is the date the article was published.. And if u set the date to a day after the current day, then ur post will fly straight to the top of your blog as a new post.. But links and all are d same

Hope this helps..
Happy new year in advance
