Ash's Random Post Dater

Use this form to set ALL posts in the selected category to a random date between these two values.

This will update the post dates on ALL posts within the selected category/tag (or ALL posts in your wordpress blog if both are set to default). Please do not use if you do not want to reset ALL post dates. I do not recommend using this on a site with lots of live posts - especially if you use a permalink structure that includes the date in the url. I use it on new sites (add all content, then set all posts to random date in the past). Use at your own risk! You will lose the current post date time (it only changes the date posted - nothing else)

Only use one of the following two. Leave both at their defaults ("ALL CATEGORIES"/"ALL TAGS") to reorder ALL posts

Reorder post dates in this category:


(leave on "ALL CATEGORIES" if you don't want to reorder all within a certain category)
OR

Reorder post dates with this tag slug (use the tag slug, not the tag):


(leave on "ALL TAGS" if you don't want to reorder all within a certain category)

Earliest Day - how many days back do you want the maximum one?

(put at 0 to put all posts in future)

Latest Day - Leave at 0 to make sure all posts are BACK dated.

(leave 0 to put all posts in past)

For example if you wanted your posts randomly set to a date in the next 30 days set the latest day as 30, the earliest day at 0

If you wanted your posts randomly set to a day in the previous 180 days then set the latest day as 0 and the earliest day as 180.

It randomly sets each post - the posts are not spaced out at exact intervals. It will readjust ALL your posts. Please make sure that you want ALL your posts to be randomised.

(Clicking this will randomly reorder all posts)

Think Positive: 4 Thai designers with socially-minded fashion projects

Totes Amaze

The designers behind accessories brand Tathata (www.fb.com/tathatabrand) hooked up with the doctors at Nanh Hospital in Northern Thailand to transform used dialysis bags into fashionable totes, and all for a good cause. The Kiddee Project, which refers to the Thai word for “think positive,” aims to generate funds for the hospital’s kidney disease patients. The impressive design—think Freitag meets Sandqvist—combines the repurposed white dialysis bags with a dark blue polyester lower and handle straps. The products are available in three sizes and styles: S is an A4-sized shoulder bag, M is an A4-sized tote with cross-body strap and L is a big tote able to hold a 17” MacBook Pro. All are priced at B1,650.

Trimode’s lead jewelry designer, Pirada Senivong na Ayudhya, has traveled to various provinces around Thailand to help contemporize traditional products, in collaboration with The Support Arts and Crafts International Centre of Thailand. Found by Trimode recently won the big prize at the Asia Talents 2014 segment of BIG+BIH. Project highlights include Doipui, a modern redesign of a traditional Hmong embroidered hat; Nong Bua Daeng, hand-woven cotton hats and totes colored with natural indigo and ebony dyes; and Nakhon Ratchasima, jewelry made with buffalo, ox and yak horns using metal coating techniques.

You may have seen his artwork as part of the Nature & Society exhibition at Sofitel So Bangkok last month, but painter and designer Preecha Lim also has his own menswear brand, Kamui Lim Fine Arts & Décor. Preecha’s paintings of animals and greenery are turned into limited edition scarves, hand-sewn pocket squares, clutches, bags and even armchair pillows. Most of his products, including his latest line of scarves, are aimed at raising funds for the Home for Handicapped Animals Foundation, too. Purchases can be made via tinyurl.com/nrqnn4s

Gone for Good

Go Went Gone is not a brand but rather a social enterprise initiated by three designers under the motto “Arts, Journey and Giving.” It all began with the team traveling around rural Thailand and meeting with communities to discuss ways of instigating positive social change. As part of their “From Surin to You” project, they help promote and modernize hand-woven tie-dye products from Surin province. Products like scarves, totes and pillow cases are available fromwww.fb.com/GoWeNtGoneVoyager, while a tie-dye workshop will take place soon at The Queens’ Gallery (date TBC).
