 I believe this was a bug previously that has come back with the latest
 version.  If you create a draft post and edit it over time, then publish
 it the date is NOT automatically adjusted to the date you publish.  It
 keeps the original date the post was created as a draft, thus putting it
 behind in the RSS feed and on your posting list.  This used to be an issue
 before, and seemed to be corrected and has come back up again

 Steps to re-produce:
 1)  Create a draft today
 2)  Wait a couple days then publish
 3)  You will see the "published Date" is the date it was created NOT the
 date it was published

 This also happens with scheduled publishes
