 * I’m having a problem trying to update the time that posts are made. It seems 
   to be a 4 hour difference in time, however I’ve tried addind +4, -4 and 4, click
   save options, however it doesn’t seem to have any affect on the times. Any ideas?

 * Well, do you have a link to your site? Changing that in the options should work.:/
   For example I have `-7` from GMT and that’s worked for me.

 * changing the time offset wont have any effect on existing posts. it will only
   work for with new posts.
    if u wanna change the timestamp for existing posts-
   try to manually change the post timestamp by editing the post and cheking the“
   edit time stamp” option

 * I’ve tried putting in -4
    Posted something new and still the time is off by 4
   hours. I don’t get it? I’m aware that it won’t change any prior posts – I was
   actually referring to new posts. A friend who commented on an exisiting post 
   noticed the time offset the other day and brought it to my attention. My site
