Bush Countdown WordPress Widget

Here's a WordPress widget I've written which counts down the number of days until GW Bush leaves office. You can see it in action on the sidebar, to the left of this post.

To use it:

  1. Unzip the file
  2. Upload bushcountdown.php to your WordPress wp-content/plugins/widgets directory
  3. Activate the plugin using your WordPress Plugins panel in the WP admin pages
  4. In the WordPress Presentation / Widgets page, drag and drop the Bush Countdown widget from the list at the bottom onto your sidebar.
  5. Optionally, edit your styles.css file (Presentation / Theme Editor), and add a style for the "bushDays" class. Here's mine
    .bushDays
    {
         padding-left: 10px;
    }
    

    That will control what the "days left" text looks like. By default, it's just plain text. The appearance of the header (the white text on a green bar, here) is controlled by the styles you've set up for your sidebar.

  6. Vote Democratic.

Have fun!

    Just want to make you aware that the clock is wrong by 10 days. It should be 249 days and not 259 days.

    Great pie script btw, works like a charm.
