If you record/store everything in the same time zone (UTC for example)
then everything will be correct.  You simply do the time zone conversion
before you display the data to the user's screen.


I might post something at 2pm my time (PST) but it's really being posted
5pm eastern time (EST).  But when I surf the site, all times are shown
according to MY time zone.

This was mentioned earlier I think but I would like to add a brief
comment.

It is Wednesday, 19 November, about 19:40 here in Australia.

Yet when I blogged on Sean Corfields blog (http://www.corfield.org/blog)
it
is about 8 hours behind - about right.

What do others think about the discrepancy of "hey I posted this 8 hours
after your website states".

I actually have sites hosted in the US so it works backwards. Any
suggestions?
