Help With WordPress Timestamps

I just made a post on Scoble’s site to try and work out when the current Digg outage following the Digg upgrade started. It made me realise that WordPress.com timestamps are all displayed in the blog owners local timezone.
I hope that’s not the case on WordPress hosted blogs, as it will make it hard [...]
