Just what I was looking for

I needed a countdown timer for a weekend sale banner and this works great. I was even able to change the size. There are more options if you purchase the pro version but this was enough for me. Thanks!

Simple, Functional, Nice Looking, and Works!

Great little plugin for adding a simple count-down/count-up clock. Looks good and works. Hopefully some future features might include: ~ Countdown that converts to Countup when clock hits 0 ~ Resetting countdown, like for weekly meeting or yearly anniversary.

Works as promised!
