1. The timezone on the server is GMT-0400 (Eastern Time, Canada)

2. Set the global variable serverOffsetHours in s9y to be 12. Which means that I want to time on the webpages is Beijing time.

3. in file /feeds/index.rss2, see the following line:

<pubDate>Fri, 16 Sep 2005 21:22:57 -0400</pubDate>

The time is Beijing time, but the timezone is still Eastern Time, Canada.

I must admit I'm not a guru at timezones, but the RSS pubDate field needs to be in GMT format. So you mean, the time offset shouldn't/needn't be applied to the RSS pubdate element?
