3... 2... 1... HAPPY NEW YEAR

2012 was a good year for plugins, and are so much fun to discover. As we went into 2013, it made me think i needed a countdown. So, a looked up a few of the more recent plugins and I found a CountDown timer that is pretty easy to style as well.

CountDown Features:
Extremely easy to integrate, jQuery compatible, Unobtrusive JavaScript, Easily skinable, Multiple instances, onComplete handler, start and stop functionality, reset functionality, new: Standard time (UTC) support

Plugin Syntax:

// Initiate Countdown
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
   $('#countdown_dashboard').countDown({
targetDate: {
           'day':      1,
           'month':    1,
           'year':     2014,
           'hour':     0,
           'min':      0,
           'sec':      0
       }
   });
});

And there you are, now you are ready to countdown to 2014!
