DISQUS

well.. its 16:35 GMT or thereabouts right now.. as I am sure you are fully aware!

WordPress hosted blogs also have the option of setting their own timestamps.

Its 1.39am (Dec 20) here as per IST, same as what my blog is set at.

but is there a way for the time to always match the readers timezone? Can registered users set their own timezone?
Ajay · 3 years ago

As of now registered users cannot set their time zones.

The only way for them to know is if you tell them the timezone. I'm going to modify all my templates to set the timezone in the post info, so that users know my blog is set as per IST.

You seem to have brought up an important feature that WordPress lacks.

I'm going to do the same.

I'm guessing IST is Indian Standard Time? Did you know that to switch between GMT and IST you only have to turn your watch upside down? well, in the summer anyway
Ajay · 3 years ago

hehe, yes I know that. Do you have daylight savings? We don't have it out here.

Guess you folks learn that about IST and we learn it about GMT, though I'm sure a lot still don't know it!
