    Hello,

    Thank you for a great plugin!

    I’m having issues with timezone conversion in a shared environment.
    My host has set their system to an offset of -6 so Mysql is storing date_recorded, date_updated, etc. fields in Denver time from the plugin.

    Would you consider using the get_option(‘gmt_offset’) and date_default_timezone_set() functions to control the offset or explicitly store it in UTC time if that would help.

    Right now MySQL-> SELECT NOW() returns ‘2013-08-26 16:04:07’, which is the date values.
    my local time is ‘2013-08-26 18:04:07’
    UTC time is ‘2013-08-26 22:04:07’

    You web host may have the server timezone set to their location, but it’s usually possible to override that setting in your installation, either though a PHP configuration setting on your control panel or though a php.ini or .htaccess file in your web root. That way the timestamps will match your local time zone.

    Are you suggesting I provide an option to store timestamps in UTC?
