Any way to know when a given web fiction was posted?
The fiction page at the Pathfinder Wiki lists all the web fiction chronologically, and there's also a sub-page which will list the fiction by year, but the only foolproof way that I know to locate the exact date is to use the Search function here on the main website for the title of the story and find the Paizo Blog entry for the first chapter, check the date of the first comment for that story, then check a calendar for the first Wednesday before that if the comment wasn't placed on a Wednesday. Kludgey, but it works--at least for stories that got comments their first week.
Of course if you (or anyone else) wanted to update the wiki fiction page with a list of stories by calendar date--and maybe another list by character/story chronology--that would be useful, since these are both questions that come up.
Were you wanting to read all the web fiction in order of publication, or were you trying to locate a particular story you read part of but only remembered the date, not the title?
I wanted to read them in order but I changed my mind. I might read the winter witch first. :)
Even so I apreciate your answer!
With most of them the order doesn't matter. With a few, there's a chronology, but the stories can still be read out of order without too many spoilers.

Wow! Nicely done, Kajehase!
Turns out naming the accompanying files of art in numerical order did have a use! ;)
This is so timely! I've read several shorts last year, which led me to purchasing one of the author's books. I "found" this section again in the redesigned site, and was just perusing when I was thinking the same thing ... that I wish these were in chrono order or at least that we could tell what order they were in. Thanks!
Now all I can wish for is that related stories could be grouped together, too.
Well, TriMarkC, if you check out this post, all the realted fiction is grouped in "chronological" order.
In other words, even though different stories are essentially in the "present," stories that involve the same characters have their own chronology. This is the chronology that I was following. Any story that does not connect to others is not listed.
