# Bug? Timestamp offset when posting with Ecto

 * I just finished setting up a blog with WordPress (1.5) and I’ve been using ecto(
   version 1.6 for Windows) and I’m seeing a very strange behavior.
 * The posts that I make with ecto don’t appear immediately in my blog and when 
   I check through the web interface I see that their timestamps are off by as much
   as 8 hours.
 * I’m not at all sure where this behavior is coming from or how I might track it
   down. Has anyone else seen this behavior before or know a fix for this?

 * Have you asked in the Ecto support forums?

 * I did ask on the ecto support forums. I pretty much posted the same question 
   in both places. So far I haven’t gotten anything back.
 * I’ve tried using both metaweblog and moveabletype api settings in ecto and I 
   get the same behavior.
 * I’m willing to admit that it could be something really obvious that I’m just 
   not seeing. It wouldn’t be the first time.

 * I’m still not having any luck with ecto and posting to wordpress. It looks like
   it’s applying the offset for GMT to anything that I post with Ecto. And then 
   it only shows up in list of posts to manage but not actually on the blog itself.
 * Anyone got any idea why this might be happening? I’m guessing it’s something 
   about the interaction of ecto and xmlrpc.php. But I’m not at all sure where to
   look.
 * I really like ecto and being able to blog from my desktop w/o having to log into
   the blog itself. So I very much want to figure out what’s going on.
