I used Dynamic Drive's Universal Countdown script on AdamBots.com (http://adambots.com) for the FIRST Kickoff Countdown and now I've got the Shipping Deadline Countdown on website. I thought I'd share the resource, so I made a small tutorial on our site with the javascript and html you have to add to your site. It's easy to modify and use.

A demo can be found in the yellow, rounded rectangle at the top of our site.

http://adambots.com/index.php?title=eMedia:Countdown_Script

The countdown is counting down to 11:59pm EST on February 19th, 2008. If you're in a different time zone, visit this page (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex6/universalcountdown.htm) to learn how to change the timezone.

If you'd like help you can join our IRC channel through AdamBots.com at our IRC page - http://adambots.com/index.php?title=Special:IRC, post here, email me, or join AdamBots forums and post in the AdamBots eMedia section.

Feedback please!

I like this idea. When I get a bit of free time I will modify The Blue Alliance's Team Badge Generator (http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv/teambadge/) to count down to Ship where it is currently display everyone's (0-0-0) WLT ratio for this year. It won't be as accurate as your countdown (+/- 1 day), but it will be helpful :)

At txfirst.org, we are using drupal and a simple counter Tag inside of Drupal, to learn more about counter tags, see link (http://andrewu.co.uk/clj/countdown/),
