@kmranjo Do we want to display the UTC offsets in the dropdown list? I ask because depending on the time of year, these are going to be different. For example, Alaska is currently in Alaska Daylight Time (UTC-8) but later on will be in Alaska Standard Time (UTC-9)
Dangit, I totally forgot about daylight savings (as I usually do). I think if we CAN include the UTC offsets then thats helpful to the user, but it's a nice-to-have and not necessary. I think generally they'll know what time zone they need to be selecting based on where they are publishing for/from, so the specific UTC offset is maybe just a reminder when we do hit DST.
