  I am having a hard time changing the time to Eastern Standard time. I know this is a pretty basic question but, I cannot seem to find this option anywhere. Thanks!

  Eastern United States? Go to your Dashboard and then click Options. Then scroll down until “Times in the weblog should differ by:”. East Coast is I believe -5. Don’t touch anything else there like Default date format and Default time format unless you know exactly what it is. But then click Update Options and the changes should be seen on the main page in a couple of minutes.

  You can even change the date of the posts if you want. For that, go to the post editor. On the right, you will see a list of categories and below that you see the options to set the time the article/video etc has been posted.

  Actually, East coast is -4 I guess.

  You have to also remember about Day Light Savings time. And this ends on October 29, so must reset your time on your blog again.

  Ummm I may be wrong but if wordpress.com changes itself for the daylight saving time,why should I have to do anything to it.

  As a side note, I live in CST and have mine set to -5 and it correct time for me.
