  When I first started this blog I took out the time right away because I couldn’t figure out how to get the correct time …

  I live in Vancouver, British Columbia … could someone tell me what number to put after the minus and what code should go in for the format????????

  puhlease!

  That’s Pacific Time? If so, you would be -8, unless Canada’s already returned to DST as the US has, then it would be -7.

  Right below the input boxes is a link to documentation about setting the date and time. It will take you here:

  The format codes determine how your date is displayed, such as m/d/y or d/m/y, etc. It does not control date display on all themes since some have the information built into the theme files instead.

  The default is: M j, Y.

  You can click on the link below the date and time to see what all the different codes mean.
