  Why are my post timestamps incorrect?
  No matter what theme I use, as well as browser or computer, my date timestamps for my posts are displayed at 11.1.11, November 1, 2011.
  I have no idea how to change it.

  Any tips?

  The default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.

  P.S. On a side issue, did you try removing the special characters from the title of the post? They don’t belong in it and they are not a good idea from an SEO perspective. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/

  At Settings -> General in your blog’s Dashboard, you entered this for the date format:

  11.1.11

  Please see this for the proper formatting (linked to on the settings page): http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time
