 * I just tried out your plugin, and added a new post: [http://xp3.us/s/mb](http://xp3.us/s/mb)
 * Why do you need a “submit” button here?!
    Pressing that button doesn’t work on
   my install.
 * Saving the post as draft saves the date and offers the “New Date” button.
    This
   button name seems confusing, since it deletes my previous date.

 * Submit is only if you don’t want to press post “update” button.
    Maybe you are
   right and is redundant, but my thought was if someone wants to place the metabox
   on the bottom (as its default position) and doesn’t want to scroll up to hit “
   update”, “submit” is an alternative.
 * Have you tried to hit update to see if the date is stored?
 * Thank you for your interest.

 * “Submit” works on my side only when the post has been saved before. I would let
   go of that button. You could try a grey unobtrusive link: scroll to top… maybe?

 * The datepicker looks great.
    Would you consider adding your plugin name “Posts
   To Events” and a subtle description. to the meta box; otherwise it might be confusing
   after a while, when you manage several websites and use different plugins for
   similar purposes…
