 * Hi:
    Just started using WordPress. Great product. Thanks a much to to the developers.
   Hopefully easy question. Looks like the server time is off by about 16 minutes?
   UTC time is: 2005-03-30 6:22:47 pm NIST time was reported as about 18:06 at [http://nist.time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0/java](http://nist.time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0/java)
   Is this something I am doing wrong or ?? Thanks, Bruce

 * @ bhoganid,
    that might be a problem with your server’s settings
 * @ maxim,
    You have to know where are you (in relation to the GMT zone) and change
   settings accordingly – i.e. how many hours difference is between your time zone
   and UTC.

 * I also have a problem with WordPress time settings. It won’t believe that I don’t
   live in Greenwich!

   to see what I mean.
