Description

Hi,

I'm writing a client for wordpress. Right now, when one wants to submit a new post, there's no way to know what the timezone offset is, and must rely on the information provided by dateCreated and date_created_gmt from previous posts. This is not great in many situations.

Thanks!
CArlos

Do the apis not just take ISO8601 timestamps?

I would expect the client to send either a UTC timestamp based on the clients timestamp or an ISO8601 timestamp with timezone offset and WordPress to use that to enter the info in the database?

For new posts we use GMT, the problem is there isn't really a way to tell the client what the TZ offset value in the blog is set to.

I'm also working on a more generic interface to blog option values, which will include taking care of this issue as well.
