Oh, my.  I forgot to check the xml-rpc.el. My weblog using wordpress
and the url is http://www.biaji.net/wp/

I don't know why, emacs parse the date to this "Date: 10  3月 2010
19:11:47 +0800" and the date I see in webpage is "2010年03月10日 11:11"

What should I do to help next?

And, thanks for your quick reply!  Wish you a nice day!
