  When I’m adding a new post the time is incorrect in the “draft saved” area which is resulting in my date on the post being incorrect. Is this a problem I have with my browser (both IE and Firefox are doing it) or is it something I can change through WordPress?

  Thanks!

  Please provide a link to your wordpress.COM blog when asking questions in the forums or link your user name to your blog as explained in the sticky, 8 Things, at the top of the forums.

  Have you set your timezone?

  Sorry about that. This is my first post to my blog and I wanted to nip the problem before I posted.

  Yes, my timezones on my computer are set. Are there different timezones on WordPress?

  Go to settings > general in your dashboard and there, you will find where you set the time offset from UTC/GMT for your timezone. WordPress itself runs on UTC/GMT, and the timezone offset only affects the date and time shown on posts and pages in the dashboard and in your blog when you publish a post or page.

  Wow, thank you so much. I knew it was simple, but I just couldn’t find it. Thanks again!!
