We've begun a long process of converting the way date is displayed on this site.

Previously, all dates displayed on each journal were the times with respect to that author's journal. However, this did not make much sense as the time zones were not explicitly explained.

Timestamps on entries are now times according to your timezone (assuming you're logged-in). This will hopefully make it easier for you to know when a certain entry has been posted.

If you are not logged in, the time offset is defaulted to the owner of the journal.

We have not yet fixed up timestamps in gallery, as the whole output script for the gallery is mediocre. We will be fixing gallery timestamp issues shortly.

Did you know?
If you set a manual date in the future when you post an entry, it will not show up in your entry until that date comes! So post a few entries in the future for fun (Note: Your RSS feeds will *not* autoupdate in the future ... they will be rebuilt the next time you post an entry).

hm noticed something earlier... i don't know if it's me or my browser/pc but.. used to be, the dates on my blog or any blog within my time region is +8 GMT (i'm on +8 GMT) but after a short while earlier.. the time's now based on 0 GMT, could you enlighten me please?

Time is based on whatever you offset is set at. If you have set in your options to be +8 GMT, the the times that come out on your journal will be adjusted as such.

I'm set at -4 GMT and your times are showing up correctly for me.

I have a question...it has nothing to do with timestamp but about shared journals, can we create specific styles to them? or is there just a default style for all? because I can't figure that out :-/
oh and also, how can we delete a shared journal? I created a few and one of them I created by mistake, while testing it.

Shared journals styling do not really work right now.
