I don’t know, if all of you have noticed this problem. But I have I have tested this on different platforms like on Github, Netlify and on a server too. If we use Github, then it shows all the blog post, even if we add the future date in the blog post. If we use Netlify or any other service _(where \_site directory is used by servers)_ then if we publish a blog now and add the today’s date in the yaml data, then the blog shows up after two days. _I hope, you have understood what I am trying to say_ ---

Could be a difference in the timezone. Trying setting it in your \_config.yml > **[Configuration](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/)** > > Jekyll gives you a lot of flexibility to customize how it builds your site. These options can either be specified in a \_config.yml or \_config.toml file placed in your site’s root directory, or can be specified as flags for the jekyll executable in... ---

That’s really strange actually, because when you upload contents of `_site` to the remote host (incl. GitHub Pages), the site is no longer within Jekyll’s scope… The site is now completely _ **static** _ by all standards. ---

@mmistakes, I think there should be an update in the documentation that if we do not have timezone Jekyll will take certain value by default, which may affect the way post appear on your website depending upon the time. But I am not sure what is the default timezone that Jekyll uses if we don’t give a timezone value. ---

Nope. That is not possible because I can understand if I am working locally by running a local server. But it should not affect the post if it hosted on the server (github) and if the posts are hosted on github then i think there is no relation between my local machine system timezone and the jekyll’s default timezone. ---

🙂 When the site is built on GitHub Pages, the timezone defaults to the timezone configured in GitHub servers ---

It means the timezone changes depending upon the server, where we host. Right? ---

> [@yashumittal](#): > > It means the timezone changes depending upon the server In theory, yes. I’ve not tested it, though. To overcome this probable issue, Jekyll recommends setting the `timezone` in your config file: ```yaml # _config.yml timezone: Asia/Kolkata ``` ---

so @ashmaroli isn’t it is a good idea to mention this thing in the documentation also. ---
