There are, of course, plenty of plugins you can find to drop into your site and provide you with a clock or countdown to present to visitors.  That’s old hat and was possible even when websites were still using HTML 2.0.  What ClockEasy.com provides, though, is a little more than that.

First, it provides four kinds of clocks for you to embed into your site: a regular clock, an alarm clock, a countdown clock, and a chronometer.  I’ll bet at least two of those are ones you hadn’t thought of or haven’t seen on drop-in sites with plugin code before.

These widgets can be customized so you can control how they look, where they’re presented (inline, left/right), the text font, color, borders, size, and so forth.  The countdown can be set with a specific target to count towards while the alarm can be set to go off at a specific time and date.  The chrono has a user-activated start/stop and timer function, and the regular clock, of course, presents a, well, regular clock.

These can all be embedded easily and without setting up a login.  Just go to ClockEasy, choose the type of clock you’re making, set it up, grab the code, and embed it into your site code.  No signup, no maintenance, and you can make as many clocks as you’d like.  It’s free and easy.

The site is simple, useful, and definitely a great bonus to site and blog owners who don’t have a lot of time or know-how to code something like this.  It’s simple 101-level coding for most developers, but most site owners aren’t developers.  Great stuff!
