I'd like my main index page to show the current time in New York City, and have been looking through the template variables for a way to do it. I've found plenty of date/time and formatting options for link variables, but I haven't found any just for the current date. Is there a way to do this with template variables or should I use PHP instead?
Comments on Current time in EST on main index page?

That'd require php. To use the current WSN default/profile timezone,
<?php echo showdate("%x - %X", time()); ?>where the format comes from http://www.php.net/strftime
