How do I upgrade from an older version of Poster?
Simply delete the old version from the location you installed it to, and install the new version. Your settings will be carried over.
I have a blog on Wordpress.com, and the modified time on any post I make from Poster is wrong. Is this a bug?
Log into your Wordpress.com account, and access the "General Options" page for your blog. You should see an entry called "Times in the blog should differ by:" and a number.
This tells Wordpress what time zone you are in. Poster needs to know what you have entered here so it can adjust times accordingly. Bring up the Poster preferences dialog
by clicking the cog icon in the toolbar or selecting the "Preferences" menu item. You should see a list of your accounts in the tree on the left of the dialog. Click the +
beside your Wordpress account, then select the item for your blog. In the "Timezone offset (hours)" field that appears, enter the same value as on the Wordpress.com website.
Posts you make or edit using Poster should now have the correct timestamp.
Will there be a Linux version?
Yes. Eventually.
