WordPress normally requires you to set a date offset for the blog in terms of a numeric difference from GMT/UTC. This plugin uses the zoneinfo database, built into PHP 5 and most Linux systems, to allow you to select a timezone instead. The advantage of this is that the database contains all that is needed for daylight savings time adjustments, and you don't have to manually change the clock twice a year anymore.

THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER NECESSARY.

WordPress 2.8 now includes the functionality from this plugin in the core code. Only versions of WordPress prior to 2.8 will derive any benefit from this plugin.

If you are using WordPress 2.8 or up, you can delete this plugin entirely.
