  Sometimes I’ll start a draft and save it so I can come back to it later.
  But if I publish another post before I finish that draft, it won’t post after the last post. It date stamps it when I started the post, not when I publish it.
  And I see there is a date to the right you can choose when it publishes, and it shows as current, but it still posts it as yesterday which is when I started the post. Does that make sense? Any ideas on how to fix that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can mannualy change the date stamp on any draft prior to publishing it. I know you aren’t scheluing a post but look at the illustrations here so you know what to click to change the date > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/

  You may also want to confirm that your date and timezone are correctly set on this page Settings > General

  The default timezone setting is UTC time. To change that to your own timezone you go here > Settings > General > and select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the dropdown you see there and then click “save changes”.
