Great, thanks. That was an easy enough answer.
I am unfamiliar with UTC time and whether or not that takes daylight savings time into account.
I live in Florida in the US Eastern Time zone. If I leave it at -5 will it take daylight savings time into account or do I need to do that manually?

Frederich, Eric:
When I make an edit in our Wiki, the dates are 4 hours ahead of time.
I
made an edit at 10:03am and on the recent changes page it says I made that change at 14:03.
Since MediaWiki doesn't know where in the world a particular user is, it will display dates/times in whatever timezone you set in your preferences. Click on "my preferences", then "Date and Time", and check that your personal timezone preference (the offset from UTC) is correct.
