I have been posting articles with future dates  for one of my other blogs using Windows Live Writer. I like doing this, because I set aside a block of time to write several articles at a time and then just set the date for some time in the future. Then I move on. It’s a great feature in WordPress. However, Windows Live Writer doesn’t play so well when it comes to future dates.

My example is I set a post this morning to be available on November 27th at 12 AM. When I looked at the post, I noticed the date was set to 1969. Ha, that won’t work. So I tried it again, thinking maybe I fat figured something. But not so. Even though, in the Properties section of the editor, I set the date to something in the future, it always defaults to something in the distant past. Not good.

I look around today and couldn’t find a fix or even mention of it. Oh well. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough. The support forums are basically non-existent, so I’m not sure where to turn. I hope some time a developer for the product reads this and can help me out.
