Much more likely to be noticed in a few days / weeks time when the blog listing on the front page has disappeared.

 

You will be able to amend the entry as required and also "bump" it to the top of the listing nearer the date. I think that it will also appear in the Calender (not sure if this is automatic or if you need to arrange it).
