Thanks Rob.
But if I have to manually change it between -5 and -4 myself whenever
daylight savings time kicks in, won't that display wrong information for
other days?
For example. A month ago I was UTC - 5 and made edits at 8:00 am.
Today I'm at UTC - 4.
I'm just guessing here, but if I go and look at those edits from a month
ago, won't it say that they were made at 9:00?

No.
I live in Florida in the US Eastern Time zone. If I

will
it take daylight savings time into account or do I
need to do that
manually?
You need to set the offset to be correct, i.e. the number of hours
your current time differs from UTC. You should be able to just click
the button to read the value from the browser.
