Blog stats
-
I have begun to use my blog regularly and have been checking the stats – however when it is 7PM where I live it is listed as tomorrow already in my blog stats. My profile is set to the correct timezone yet my stats are showing as if I live in Greenwich . . . how can I get stats that reflect my timezone . . .

All the stats — and new days — reflect GMT, which is quite common. There has to be a common denominator somewhere, and GMT is it.
Your posts, however, refect the time zone you’ve set up in your dashboard. So if I want a post for tomorrow, I wait till after midnight in my time zone, even though it might already be already ‘tomorrow’ in GMT.

GMT doesn’t change with daylight savings. In the summer, the UK moves to British Summer Time which is GMT + 1.

Since radio signals can cross multiple time zones and the international date line, some worldwide standard for time and date is needed. This standard is coordinated universal time, abbreviated UTC. This was formerly known as Greenwich mean time (GMT).

You can install something like statcounter, but since you cannot use the javascript version, the information you will get will be very limited compared to that on wordpress.
