 * Loving this plugin and importing is all working great EXCEPT for importing post_date.
   I have a text string in one of the csv columns in the following format – length
   is 19 chars using LEN() – definitely a text string:
 * 2012-10-25 17:02:09 (for example)
 * The plugin Preview shows this field between two other fields as:
 * Guide.,2012-10-25 17:02:09,pana
 * The post imports fine, but the post_date keeps showing up as Nov 29, 1999 17:
   00 for some unknown reason (this date comes up regardless of the input date –
   my guess is the 17:00 is 00:00 GMT because I am using GMT-7 but I have no idea
   about the date).
 * I’ve tried a variety of things to try to make this work, but nothing has worked
   so far. I’m wondering if it might be a bug in the software because I successfully
   imported the same date/time format using another plugin.
 * Would very much appreciate a solution ASAP – it’s the ONLY thing holding me back
   with this project. Thanks so much!

   must be provided for the Post Date predefined mapping as the following format:“
