If you post it unaltered, then date of writing seems fine to use as a date on your blog as the truth and as historical context. If you update it, then I think you can’t date it in the past.

You can always date it in the past and include an intro paragraph in italics that explains that this is an essay from the past that you are posting online for the first time now.
