Question

I am a bit confused about using dates/times along with timezones in WordPress. I have the following questions:

  1. What is the purpose of the timezone setting in the Admin -> Settings section?

  2. Assume current time in GMT is 20:00, and Assume I am in EST (so it is 16:00 in EST time), how is the time of the blog saved?

  3. Assume a reader is reading the post, and he/she is located in Turkey. So their local time is 23:00, do they see 23:00 as the post time?

  4. Assume I am using a custom post type, and I am having an extra date/time field for other date information. How do I ensure that the custom date field behaves as the WordPress field?

I apologize for those basic questions, but I really need your help explaining those.
