YAYYY ~ I truly love yuku's features ~ yes, everyone can set his/her own time zone within his/her own account ~ click on Account in the upper left corner of any page, next to where it says Welcome NC ~ on the lower left side, under Settings, click on Time Zone ~ you'll be given a choice to set your own time zone and a choice to convert/show all posts in your local time ~ one little wrinkle: the time choices are all in GMT ~ I'm on CST and that is GMT -6 ~ you being EST will be GMT -5 ~ be sure you click the Submit button when you've made your choices ~
