 * WP 3.7.1
    This plugin is almost perfect!
 * Only one problem: the plugin is using the UTC time and not the Local time I set(
   UTC-X). We don’t have the option to set the time zone in the plugin – so the 
   plugin use the wordpress time (server).
 * Settings -> General if you set the local time you will see this: UTC is 12-11-
   2013 **15:12:00** Local Time is 12-11-2013 **10:12:00**
 * I need the plugin use the **Local time**, please.
 * Please HELP! Thank You 🙂

 * The time information is taken from the WordPress installation….what timezone 
   setting are you using in WordPress (Settings -> General)?
