KB Countdown Widget

Please post your comments about this widget to the appropriate post in the KB Countdown category. I have disabled commenting on this page because it was getting too big.

Ever wanted to track a pregnancy, or the time until the next elections, or your baby’s precise age, or something else that will surely fascinate all your readers? Introducing the KB Countdown widget, which does just that. You give it a start date, an end date, or both. You then write in a message like this:

Janelle will have the baby in TIME_UNTIL!

In your sidebar, visitors see this:

Janelle will have the baby in 3 months and 4 days!

I’ve got several examples in the sidebar (you might need to scroll down a ways).

  • The first shows a basic use (with the default bargraph),
  • the second shows localization into German,
  • the third shows a customized bargraph (except for the crimson border, which was applied by my stylesheet),
  • and the fourth makes a table by using the advanced tags instead of the standard tags (see FAQ).

And starting with version 2.0, you can also use KB Countdown in pages or posts, like this: KB Countdown has been awesome for 2 years, 11 months, and 23 days. The world will end in 97 years and 8 days. Look in kb_countdown.php for instructions about this advanced use.

To download the current version or read the FAQs, go to the KB Countdown download page in Wordpress.org’s plugins database. If you have a support question about the plugin, post a comment below (but please read the FAQs first).

If you’re using this widget, go ahead and leave a comment or trackback so people can see what you’ve done with it.
