Populate timezone from client instead of server

[jsjoeio]

Bug

When I leave out published_date from the metadata and then hit publish, the server populates it using it's own timezone.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create blog post around 8:55PM Arizona
2. hit publish

Expected

published_date should show same date as user's local timezone (browser)

Actual

it uses the server timezone which will show a day in the future.

Suggestion

Calculate the date on the client using the timezone set in the browser, include in request and use on server

I am a user of Bear Blog in South Korea. In my case, new posts are published with yesterday's date. I hope there is a solution for this.

I've just pushed an update that shows you your local timezone in your post editor. Under the hood everything is stored in UTC. In the editor a script updates published_date value to show your local datetime.

I have yet to implement it to show local timezones on the blogs themselves (which I'll get to).

I hope this leads to less confusion when posting :)

Times are now shown universally at local time
