WordPress Time Zone – Set It Right To Avoid Confusion

In a hurry to make our first post, we often neglect the Time zone setting in WordPress. This does not affect the immediate publishing but might cause confusion when you are time stamping your posts for publishing in future.

By default the WordPress shows UTC time and you need to customize that for your time zone.

Here is how to do that

1. Log in your WordPress admin account

2. In left hand menu bar, scroll down to “Settings”

3.In Settings menu, click “General”

4.In the screen that appears, scroll to Timezone

5.Choose city that is most relevant to time zone.

6. Save.

That is all.

Good day.

Looking For FeedBurner Feedsmith! Its Here

Feedburner Feedsmith is a wonderful plugin for managing your WordPress feed (self-hosted WordPress). The plugin detects any access your feed (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/feed/ or http://www.yoursite.com/wp-rss2.php, etc.), and redirect them to your FeedBurner feed so you can track every possible subscriber. It will forward for your main posts feed and optionally, your main comments feed as well.

I had been using this plugin in all my sites and wanted to add a newly revamped site.

As usual, I went to Plugin page in the admin area and searched for the plugin. [After autoinstall feature has come to WordPress, I have rarely looked for the plugins outside. Everything seems to be available for autoinstall.

I was surprised to find that Feedsmith was not there.

I looked at the Feedburner interface but there was no mention. I remember it was there earlier before Google took over Feedburner.

Finally I searched at Google. [Read more...]
