Comment:

 Here's the issue:

 Windows Live Writer sends dateCreated without the "Z" designating is as a
 GMT date.  WordPress assumes it is a local time, and post_date_gmt gets
 offset (by the WP-stored GMT offset).

 Two things need to happen:

  1. Windows Live Writer needs to send the "Z" so we know it's GMT
  2. We need to give preference to date_created_gmt (which we can
 reasonably assume to be GMT even if it lacks the "Z") over dateCreated

 Joseph is in contact with the WLW people about the first part, and I've
 created a patch to do the second part.
