Google Blogger scheduled post is scheduled at the wrong time

[pjpontes]

Is anyone having publishing hour bug? When I schedule a post to a certain hour, it's published 3 hours later. I am at -3 GMT. I have to fix it in the blogger editor, always.

Is this against Blogger? (If it is then it is a known issue that we still need to fix I'm afraid)

[pjpontes]

Yes, it happens when I schedule posts in Blogger. I work it around scheduling in OLW 3 hours before the hour I want it to be published. As I am on -3 GMT, it seems that OLW is always on 0.

Same thing happening except that I am GMT-5 and it's schedule 5 hours later than I am requesting. Using blogger as well. Will attempt your workaround. Thanks.

Closing as dupe of issue #262 - Google Blogger scheduled post is scheduled at wrong time

Whoops, #262 is actually Wordpress related, I'll use this bug (#224) to track the Google Blogger bug.

I have a fix for Google Blogger scheduling posts at the wrong time (pull request #358), but I'd like to get a few volunteers to test the changes. I have a version of Open Live Writer that I've built that contains the fix. Please follow these instructions and then report back if it worked or didn't work for you. Thanks!

1. Close Open Live Writer if you have it running
2. Download and run my fixed version here: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/731kkwc1m5aqxya9/artifacts/Releases/OpenLiveWriterSetup.exe (note: you may get a Windows Smartscreen dialog complaining that this app is unrecognized, you'll need to click More info > Run anyway)
3. Create a new post and schedule it out at a specific time in the future.
   
4. Post to Blogger
5. Go to http://www.blogger.com, login to your blog and find the post you scheduled. Is the time zone correct? Is the scheduled time as expected? In my case, I am on Pacific Standard time, so this fix worked for me.

I am in Dallas (central time). At 5:07 I told blogger I wanted it posted at 6:07 and it shows published at 4:07 pm and shows as published.

By the way, the scheduled bug is in Typepad too. I raised the issue.
