Want to Pause Feed Temporarily

Hi, what's the best way to do this:
I want to add some new posts to my blog (back-dated posts) without them being published to Facebook and Twitter.
Is there some way I cause pause dlvr.it (I don't want delete and re-set-up my route) so that I can add these back-dated posts to my blog without them being fed through to my Facebook and Twitter when I unpause?
Thanks.

Anyone out there? :)
Mark,
If the items appear in the feed, they'll be posted. There is no way to specifically exclude them unless you want to add their titles (or at least a portion thereof) into the Filtering portion of your feed configuration in dlvr.it.
The easiest method is to remove your feed, add the items, and then re-add the feed and select "wait for next new item".
Thanks for response, Jay.
Having had to get this done before October 31st, I did some playing around.
I found the best way to do it was as follows:
- Switch my feed from active to paused (by clicking "Active" on top right corner")
- Adding my back-dated content on old dates over the past few months.
- Going back to Dlvr.it I changed my settings saying that I only wanted to publish one post, the most recent.
- I wrote and published a new news story dated today's date or similar
- Made my feed active again.
Therefore, when feed worked it only published once (the most recent) and ignored the 20 or so other articles I added recently.
It worked out fine.
