Bug Description

I wrote a post today and pushed it to the server, but it said it was scheduled for a time that was (locally) past (I had not marked it to be posted later, but I had viewed the toolbox widget). However, the server is 3 timezones behind, so it still had 3 hours there. Can Bilbo mark the time for publication in GMT and add +0000 to the end so that the server can convert to it's local time? I'll test again when I post next time.

What blogApi and blog server do you use!?

There is a check on this commit: http://gitorious.org/bilbo/mainline/commit/a9f3335c42b25e59f5b168920cc0ed0c7d27b466 I made, that i think should fix this!

It checks if blog publish date is less than 60 secs before, do not set it, So server will set it as its current time!

I think there is a problem on KDE GMT <-> LOCAL conversion! because Bilbo tries to send datetime as GMT!

Could you test current git version to test if this fixes that!?

You can get the src from this link: http://gitorious.org/bilbo/mainline/archive-tarball/master Or make a git clone from repository: http://gitorious.org/bilbo/mainline
