  I scheduled a post today for 3pm. It published itself this morning yet still said it was scheduled for 3pm today.
  Why did this happen?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are you sure your blog timezone setting is correct?
  Are you sure the timestamp and datestamp on the scheduled posts is correct?

  Confirm your timezone is correct
  The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General.

  http://urbanacademyjk.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

  Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.

  Check the date and timestamp
  For editing them see:

  Use the images you see here to help you http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/ edit the datestamp and timestamp if required and then click update.
