National Blog Posting Month

Need help with Wordpress time stamp

Ugh, I never noticed until NaBloPoMo, that my time is a day off in wordpress. If I post today, it puts down tomorrow's date. I went back and manually fixed a few posts, but how do I fix it for good? I went to my profile and it said something about UTC time? what is that? how do I get Colorado time?

Thanks.

I am using a wordpress.com blog and it doesn't want the badge code in the widget, not on any page :(; ▶ Reply to This

I just moved to a self-hosted wordpress blog, so I could have more control (for reasons such as this).; ▶ Reply to This

Which host do you use and how complicated is the move? Am thinking about it since a while myself.; ▶ Reply to This

It was actually not too bad to convert over to the self-hosted version. Easier than I thought. I had put it off for quite a while, and then I used a ThemeBuilder to completely brand my blog, which rocks.

I use 3essentials hosting, which is great if you want to run on a Windows platform (which is what I need, since I code in ASP).; ▶ Reply to This
