 * The time is consistently off by 12 hours on one of my blogs and I cannot find
   a way to set it and have it stay changed.
 * Yes, I edit the timestamp, but it still posts about 12 hours early.
 * Thanks for any help you can give.

 * Have you set the time difference from UTC in Options -> General -> Date and Time?

 * OK — I make this change, but it doesn’t stick. It goes back to zero. So my time
   is always UTC.
 * Why?
 * Thanks!
