First thanks for all the participation in the first timeZone experiment. I am now confident we have an algorithm that gets the numeric values for month, day and year, in the blog's local time zone for each post, and now believe we can accurately sort them out into baskets, by day. #
This will make it possible to restructure the code that builds the home page and the daily and monthly archive pages, so that they work across all time zones. #
The next test is to try sorting actual blog.opml files. #
For example, I have temporarily changed the timeZoneOffset attribute for cluelessnewbie to 12, which means it's now already the 26th according to my blog. And sure enough the top two posts that I just created appear in the sorting in the 26th. #
You can run the test against your blog by changing the name parameter on the URL to the name you use for your Drummer account, and see if the algorithm correctly sorts your posts into days. #
