 * Hello guys, I found that comments and other things on the blog are being timestamped
   1 hour earlier than they were actually posted.
 * On the Unix machine it is being served from, when I type the “date” command, 
   it shows the correct date.
 * When I create a sample php file and do `echo "The time is : " . date("H:i:sa");`,
   it shows the correct date.
 * Where could things be going wrong? In MySQL? How should I check that everything
   is set up correctly.
 * Does php just rely on the underlying system’s date function or do I need to set
   up timezones and daylight savings time manually?
 * Same question for MySQL, does it rely on the system or do I need to configure
   it?
 * Thanks,
    ~Eric
