How can one correct the date on a Blog post?

    I posted a blog yesterday, July 4th: “Freedom 2011.” The date of the posting inaccurately stated July 5th. It looks like the date stamp in WordPress is off by one day. Can this be corrected? I am currently using the theme Choco, which has a date tab – this also was off by one day. Thanks.

    You can change your blog’s time zone from Settings > General in your dashboard to reflect your own time zone.

    If you want to correct the date on previous posts you can go to “Posts” in your dashboard, hover over the title of a post and click “Quick Edit”, there you’ll see (among other things) the date box pop-up. Edit away! :)

    Hope that helps.
