 I've begun a blog with 366 pre-built entries for the next year at
 http://pic.nslog.com/ .

 I first tried setting the date and time to 00:00:00 (and GMT to 05:00:00).
 That didn't work and my entries weren't auto-published at midnight. Next I
 tried 00:01:00 (and 05:01:00). That doesn't work either.

 Curiously, when you log in at, say, 9am, the post that should have been
 published at midnight will say it will be published in 9 hours. The math
 is backwards. The post that should go up at midnight that day properly
 says "in 15 hours."

 I wrote more about this here:
 http://nslog.com/2008/02/07/wordpress_time_bug_for_midnight_posts

 I believe that the problem is the first 00, and I'll try 01:00:00 (and
 06:00:00) soon, but there's still a bug.

 P.S. WordPress 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 are affected by this bug. There's no choice
 for 2.3.3 in the popup.
