  The option to change my timezone was not available on my general settings page. I live in the US central timezone and would like to change it.

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

  Thank you! I tried that link and it was unhelpful. The timezone setting is not where this page says it should be and I can’t find it.

  I can’t change the timezone on my blog which is awkwardmusingsofdani.wordpress.com and the links above do not work for me. I’m in the US on Pacific Standard Time.

  You can change and the links work for you too:
  Use the UTC type: UTC +1, UTC +4, UTC -7, etc.

  The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General. There you select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu and then click “save changes”.

  Then if you want to change the times and dates on any published posts go to > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts
  hover over the title of your post and click the “edit” link.

  I know you are not scheduling a post but I think looking at this image will be helpful: http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/publish-immediately-edit.png?w=688
  Click the Edit link in the Publish module and you will be able to change the datestamp and timestamp on posts you have already published. Then click “update”.
