  I looked at my feed. I see this:
  <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ ?>
  – <!– memcached
  –>
  – <!– generator=”wordpress/MU”
  –>
  – <rss version=”2.0″ xmlns:content=”http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/” xmlns:wfw=”http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/” xmlns:dc=”http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/”>
  – <channel>

  <generator>http://wordpress.org/?v=MU</generator&gt;
  <language>en</language>
  – <item>

  I’m in the Central time zone and the posts to my blog reflect that, yet my feed does not. How do I get the feed to do it?

  Give us a chance to answer please. :)

  The servers are set for UTC time since most servers on the Internet are also set for UTC time. That way, its easier to communicate between each other.

  Sorry.

  <i>The servers are set for UTC time since most servers on the Internet are also set for UTC time.</i>
  I see. So the feed pubdate is not a mutable characteristic? It’s decided on at the server?

  right, the idea being that the RSS reader will adjust the date to the reader’s time zone.
