| * Server Time. Shows the current time of the clock in the Blocks Server. If your server has Internet access, this is generally adjusted automatically. If not, you may want to check this every few monts to make sure that it is reasonably accurate. | * Server Time. Shows the current time of the clock in the Blocks Server.
