 * This may be a dumb question. Can anyone tell me how to set the correct time at
   the wordpress admin panel? Thanks.

 * You have to know your own time zone, your server’s time zone and the difference
   compared to GMT (UTC). Use +/- in the box that says: “…should differ…”

 * In the admin panel, under Options -> General. There is a field for difference
   in hours from UTC.
