  My blog shows an incorrect date whenever I publish new posts. It has the correct day of the week, month, and year but the actual number of the day is incorrect. For example, if I posted on February 7, 2010 it will appear as February 8, 2010 (or on the theme it appears as 02/08 when it SHOULD be 02/07). I have looked all over my dashboard to figure out a way to change the time. Sunday is NOT the 8th. It is the SEVENTH. The 8th falls on a monday, which is this morning. How can I fix this problem? I contacted support with the same question but I am yet to recieve any response so I decided to ask on the forums… Take a look at my blog at http://sdenneyphotography.com/ to see what the problem is… If you look at the calendar on the sidebar to the right you’ll see that it says the 7th is a saturday and the 8th is a monday… It SHOULD say that the 7th is sunday and the 8th is monday…

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

  BTW the blog is not showing an error at all. It’s setting is on UTC time (formerly Greenwich mean time) until you change that to your own time zone.

  Here’s some advice from an old hand – don’t sweat the small stuff. This is the link to the support documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/general-settings/

  I had already gone to general settings – that wasn’t the problem because I had set it correctly.

  I figured out how to edit the date the post was published on when editing the posts so I just went back through each posts and changed the day of which they were actually published (which was a day sooner than what was previously shown). From now on I will just have to go and edit the published date to make sure that it is correct. I have no idea how the calendar was fixed but hopefully from now on the dates will be correct xD

  Also thank you for the compliment! I really enjoy having this blog so far and look forward to uploading a lot more pictures in the future =)
