Of time zones and existing blogs

Seanette · #1 (**permalink**) 05-28-2009, 12:45 AM

Two questions from the baffled newbie:

1) How do I tell the board to show times for my correct time zone? I'm on Pacific time and we're currently in DST, if that helps.

2) How/where would I link to my existing Blogspot blog? I'd rather not have to try to juggle two.

Thanks to all.

I can answer the first one but unfortunately will have to leave the blogging question to those that do more blogging than I.

To change your time zone...you will notice when you are in forums just above the forum menu a link that says "user CP." Click on that. It will bring up a menu on the left hand side. Go down to "Settings and options" and find "Edit Options" and click on that. Scroll down till you see "Date and Time Options" There is a drop down menu for Time Zones. You can change it there.

To my knowledge, there's no way to import your existing blog. However, you can create a signature for it and link to it there. Not everyone here blogs, so it's not like you'd be missing out on a HUGE part of the site by not doing it.

Many thanks. I found several other items to set (such as editor type) that were useful.

Did the signature (included my Twitter ID). One more newbie question, is there a way to set my default font and size so I don't have to do it every message?
