Simply, copy and paste the following code wherever you want the count down text: Find Step 1 in the script, and you should be able to see (2003,5,04,12,18,00) soon after it. All you have to do is substitite each number for your own count down, for example: 2003 = The year 5 = The month 04 = The Date 12 = The hour 18 = The minute 00 = The seconds
