Changing the Time Zone in Drupal 7

You can change the time zone for your Drupal 7 website at any time. You can even allow users of your website to set their own time zones as well. This allows the dates on pages, articles, posts, etc. to display in a timeframe that is meaningful to the viewer. Changing the time zone for Drupal is accomplished through the administrator dashboard.
