11:17am

I lie about the time. I type in 11:17am and then when I'm mid-way through the post, it is 11:18am and I wonder what is the precise time I am writing this. Is it 11:17am, 11:18am, or 11:20am, when I finish? Or is it the median minute between the start and end, 11:18:30?

You know, I have the same problem you have. I have come to a decision about this, though.

When I am able to complete an entire post in one sitting, I let the time fall on the moment I started writing it. However, I sometimes leave my screen on for hours while I'm trying to finish a post, and the moment I finish that post would be the time of writing.

And, when I'm writing an emotional post, I may get a little adventurous and stamp the time at the precise moment I felt the emotion.
