Blogger beta fix

A note to DC Bloggers with blogs in the dcblogs live feed and using the the Blogger beta or want to upgrade.
What's been happening is that people who upgrade to the blogger beta are finding that their post appears on the live feed, but four hours down.
Here's something you can do to fix that (Note -- ONLY MAKE THIS CHANGE IF YOU HAVE UPGRADED TO BETA):
Go to blogger's Settings
-- Change the Time Zone from EST to [UTC+00:00] Greenwich Meantime. Republish your blog. This will compensate and your post will appear at the top of the feed.
-- Optional: Change your time stamp formate to just show date, for instance, Monday, November 20 2006.
-- On your post: At the bottom of your post you will see "Post Options. Just before you publish put in the current time. So if its 12:30 p.m. put that in. Your post, when it appears on the feed, should show the time you select.
We are working on a fix that will automatically do this and allow you to leave your timezone at EST, but I don't know when that work will be completed. In the meantime, a simple adjustment of the time zone will solve this problem.
Thanks,
kob

Pat -- other than feed issues, any other reasons you know of to hold off on switching to the beta?
Also, this is very strange -- in Firefox 2.0 (mac & pc), when I try to click the direct link URL for your entry, FF thinks it's some sort of download, and not a regular hyperlink. -- Joe
What's going on in Firefox is strange. I'll try to figure it out.
Blogger, from what I know, is trying to move everybody over its beta. It evidently believes the code is stable enough, but I also wonder if people are having more publishing problems then usual with it.
