How to add a countdown timer.

[rk288]

I'm new here and would like to add a countdown timer but I don't see any obvious way to do it? Also I see a lot of users with various quotes and other things (countdown timers) attached to thier posts. How do I do this???

Thanks

To add a countdown timer, this is the code: [countdown=7/17/2010 12:00 PM]Count down:[/countdown] until event

Not to be pedantic, but since the countdown timer adds a period, it's more correct to put

XYZ will occur in: [countdown=7/17/2010 12:00 PM]Count down:[/countdown]

I'm just saying...
