 * For a new project I need to offset the times in my WordPress installation by 
   20 years. I tried entering the correct number of hours in the time zone offset,
   which didn’t work (it didn’t seem to do anything at all). Changing the server
   time would obviously be a bad idea, so I’m guessing I need to modify the PHP 
   somewhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 * Ok, scrap that. Apparently the times are stored in the DB with the GMT offset
   already added on, rather than doing the sensible thing and storing the times 
   as UTC then adding the offset when the page is rendered. Entering 175320 in the
   GMT offset box did the trick.
