  Currently where I live it is March the 14th at 6:00pm Pacific Standard Time. Why then, when I log in and look at the blog stats, is it already reporting that there have been visitors to my blog on the 15th of March?

  I’ve set the time properly in the General Settings, and see something about UTC, but is there a way to accurately reflect the timing of visitors to my blog according to my time zone?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The Stats only work in Greenwich time zone setting.
  their is no way to change this right now, apparently.

  All wordpress.com blogs’ stats operate on UTC. If your theme publishes the time of a post (many do not) it should reflect the adjusted time you set in your dashboard. Is that not the case?

  BTW, the site linnked to your name is not a wordpress.com blog and we generally need that link to help. If the blog in question is not hosted by wordpress.com, you’ll need to click on over to wordpress.org.
