time zone

what time zone do i use when setting up a countdown?

Since there isn't a UK time choice, you will need to calculate it from one of the given time zones.

WDW is "est" so subtract (or is it add?) the # of hours you are from that and give it a shot.

If the event is occurring in the UK, you could just use EST and subtract 5 hours from the Countdown time. For instance, if the event was to take place at 7:00PM, you could use EST and set the time to countdown to 2:00PM.

I think I need to update the Countdown Timer Generator to handle all of the time zones (and maybe to calculate daylight savings time automagically).

Ooooooh! Can you give a choice of background colors too? How about making the whole frame colored for accent?

Borders?

Can it dispense chocolate candy too?

Well, I had it sending me $1 from each person's bank account whenever they used a countdown timer in a post, but the funds accidentally got routed into Enron and WorldCom accounts.
