Blog Post Dates
-
My blog posts are being ‘dated’ incorrectly. They seem to be going backwards instead of forwards and I don’t know how to fix it. First post was 18 May and the third post is listed as 17th, not 20th.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Have you set your timezone correctly?
The default timezone is UTC time. Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account. You have to contact the site’s actual owner and have them transfer the blog to your username account.
You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and reset timezone. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with the actual blog’s name in that URL.
Provided you are logged in as Admin you can confirm or reset your timezone here > Dashboard > Settings > General.
Go to http://savingtatasblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
There you select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu and then click “save changes”.
Note that you can examine these images so you see how to edit posts and change datestamps and timestamps where required.

Yes I have. I haven’t scheduled any posts either so I don’t really understand why it doing it.
-
I think I’ve just figured it out the why but I still think it’s weird. They were draft posts and even though they were published today, they’re showing that the date from two days ago. Weird.
