User-Relevant Timezones

Posted on

Posts and comments on your blog display in your timezone (usually). This sucks for your readers. What makes sense to them is their timezone. Trevor Creech and I have written a WordPress plugin to fix this. Using a technique suggested by Johan Sundström and the formatDate JavaScript library by Svend Tofte, this plugin shows post and comment timestamps in the viewer’s local timezone.

Not quite — if you put the class ‘time’ on all your timestamps and then include this script in your template you should (may) get a similar effect — this is untested

I whole heartedly agree. So, I too just got rid of the timestamp on my page.
