 * Just a quick one: does WordPress automatically adjust the Timezone setting to
   account for daylight savings, or do we have to manually adjust that setting twice
   a year?

 * It depends on your time zone setting.
 * If you set your time zone to a city, WordPress takes care of DST automatically.
 * But if you set your time zone as a UTC offset, then WordPress has no locality
   information to adjust the time for DST, so you have to manually make the adjustments
   forward and backward.

 * I see. Many thanks for that clarification, George. I had no idea that WordPress
   had the option of choosing a city. I’ve updated my preferences, and will see 
   if that takes care of my particular issue.
