It was the time / date formatting.
The link under the time / date in Options needs clicking. Just entering a date / time will cause much funkiness.

I'm not clear whether or not you know the timezone you live in and whether or not you are entering the correct information under date and time on this page -> Options
Here's a link to assist you with that determination http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

If you are indeed inputting the correct information and then clicking "Update Options" and the blog dates and times are not changing accordingly then you need staff help. You can use this link during support hours to report this problem and get help with it http://wordpress.com/contact-support/

Thank you so much for your assistance. My significant other has been hounding me to get Dreamweaver insofar as she says, "...your writing takes 15 minutes, but your editing takes 2 or more hours." I say, "...life's tough being a perfectionist..." Anyway, I feel it's incumbent upon a blogger to at least know the basics...if not more!

timethief: There is a duplicate of this post; I don't know how it happened but there are like 18-19 comments that are quite good. "Watermark" was the word I was looking for! Thanks again, both of you! Cheers!

Is it possible to embed a photo into your main page? Example say I have some very, very light, unobtrusive photos that I would like to have in the page so I could write over it. Is it possible to do that here at WordPress?

@onemorecup
The only way you can change the background behind your posts to an image is through css editing and you can't do that without purchasing a css upgrade. (There is a preview function so you can play around with css and view the results. But any changes that you make in preview will not remain and cannot be seen by your readers so be sure to save them in a plain text editor.)

Again not sure if it'll help but it's an idea. Also while i'm super new I use tables in the posts.

Who wants the text jammed right smack up against the photo?

The solution as it was pointed out to me in another thread was this:
If the image is on the left, and text on the right, insert this code:
alt="YOURPHOTO.jpg" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px" />

If the photo is on the right and the text to the left, insert this:
alt=YOURPHOTO.jpg" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px" />

Works for me, anyway. I just wish it were a default setting.

""What do you mean, "the ones that don't show tags don't show up in the technorati search engine under the appropriate tag"? If you don't tag them, neither will Technorati. ""

I meant that I always use the WordPress categories. Sometimes these categories show up on technorati as tags, other times they don't show up at all. I thought perhaps when I searched one of the tags/categories on technorati, the appropriate post would be listed, despite technorati not converting the wordpress category to a technorati tag. No such luck.

It seems when technorati doesn't convert the categories on a post to tags, they miss them all. It is never a few working, a few not working. I can find no differences in what I am doing differently with the posts that technorati converts the wordpress categories to tags than the posts where it does not.
