  I can’t set the time zone for my blog. There isn’t a time zone option in general settings. I old like it to be pacific standard time.

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

  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”.

  If you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog this is what you see here
  http://psaoftheday.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

  General Settings
  Site Title __________
  Tagline __________

  Timezone

  Choose a city in the same timezone as you.
  “save changes”

  Thanks for the reply, but that is not how I see my settings. Under general, I see: site title, site tag line, language, site visibility, related posts, preview. Are you able to make the time zone adjustment for me?

  Oh dear! I apologize for posting the wrong link above:
  http://dessertoasis.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php is the correct link.

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Your last resort for gaining access is to complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access. Note there is a backlog so you have to be patient while waiting.
