The Date on my pic is wrong.

January 6th, 2012
I just posted a pic for day 6 and the info on the pic says it was taken yesterday, when it was taken 33 mins ago. How can I fix this?

Some of mine are wrong as well. I haven't worried about it...yet

Is the date on your camera set wrong?

The site automatically uses the date/time that the camera has when the picture is taken. Make sure your camera has the correct time. You can also change the date when you're adding the picture, or edit the picture and change the date.

That's good, didn't know you could edit the date while editing. Thanks!

Here is the weird thing. The date was off by a day, for the last 2 days. But the pic I put up 3 days ago had the right date. Im confused.

@selbeclan -- You're taling about the date on exif info, right?
Same thing happened to me last year when I would upload photos from my phone. Except, the date was one day in the future (??).
I would definitely check the date/time settings, sometimes quirky things happen. Especially if you swapped out batteries etc. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you've checked the date on your camera, you're saving the photo under the correct date in your calendar, and you know you took the pic on a particular date, that's all you can do. :)

Just spent 30 minutes trying to work out how to change the date on my Fuji when I noticed it was still in December 2011... That explains why I was having trouble finding them once I'd uploaded to the computer! Doh!

Thankfully the Canon is ok... lol

Thanks everyone for the input. I did swap the batteries earlier in the week so maybe that is what messed up the date. The only reason I was asking is I have seen the weekly theme contest and they are pretty strict about the date the pic was taken. If I decided that one of my pics is good enough to enter, I hope that the date will be correct.
