I am creating my blog from scratch but am entering posts for dates in the past. The problem is that the Issue Date that I set in the original post DOES NOT come through when it's actually posted... instead, it puts today's date and time. In order to get the previous date that I want, I have to edit the post and change the date/time again. THEN it sticks.

For example, this morning I entered a post for 9/6/06 but when I saved it, it registered as 9/13/06. I thought it was user error, so I tried entering multiple posts over my multiple blogs, making sure I remembered to change the date on them all, but they all had the same effect--it reverted to today's date/time.

Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
