 * I have read that when you publish and unpublish then publish the same post it
   will notify your subscribers twice for the same post. We are changing the look
   and feel of our blog and want to unpublish some of the post then republish them
   without notifying the subscribers. Is there a function I can add to my functions
   file that would check to see if there is a post date. Here would be a sudo code
   idea.
 * if (post->date < current date){
    Then don’t notify subscribers }else { run notification
   as normal }
 * I currently don’t have a plugin managing my rss2 feed subscription button just
   the wordpress function.
 * Thanks for any help.
