Clean Your Clock
Posted Oct 28, 2007
Last night, folks in many countries around the world nudged their clocks backward or forward, depending upon their particular hemispheric proclivities. Don’t leave Big Medium behind: Your Big Medium-powered site needs a little nudge to make the Daylight Saving Time adjustment, too.
To change the time in Big Medium 2 for an individual site,
update the "Time Zone Offset" setting in the
"Settings>Site Properties" screen.
Programming around time zones and Daylight Saving Time is crazy complicated, and thusfar I’ve punted on making Big Medium daylight-savings-aware. Alas, this means that administrators must change Big Medium’s clock manually twice per year. It’s a hassle, I know, but hey... At least those of us in the northern hemisphere have the gift of an extra hour to make the change.

Josh, you're right on top of things. Here in the States Daylight savings doesn't happen until next Sunday, but I woke up today wondering this exact same question 'Does BM adjust for daylight savings'? As far as being a hassle, nah, Big Medium seems to do so much without assistance, publishing, image resizing, sitemaps...etc. I think I can handle telling it what time it is.
