Q: How to add countdown/off timer in a post?

<!–afdn_countdownTimer_single(”ENTER_DATE_HERE”)–>

Example: Countdown till noon of December 25, 2012 in the Philippines, replace ENTER_DATE_HERE with 25 december 2012 12:00:00 +0800. Remove time if it is not required.

This code <!–afdn_countdownTimer_single(”25 december 2012 12:00:00 +0800″)–> displays:
52 months, 24 days, 18 hours, 55 minutes, 25 seconds

Optional: Use the title attribute if you want to show a caption.

* For image set you need to add rel=”lightbox[roadtrip] attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox.
Image set example:
<a href=”images/image-1.jpg” rel=”lightbox[roadtrip]” title=”my caption”>image #1</a>
<a href=”images/image-2.jpg” rel=”lightbox[roadtrip]” title=”my caption”>image #2</a>
