Inspired by @TwBirthday on Twitter, this shows a simple message in the admin panel on 
their blog birthday.
“Happy 3rd Blogger Birthday! You’ve been around since 11 August 2008.”
“Happy 7th Blog Birthday! The first post on this blog was on 19 November 2004.”
“Happy 1st Blog Birthday! This blog was first registered on 23 July 2010.”
Caveats: 
– Old WordPress admin accounts have a registration date of 0000-00-00 and never have a 
 blogger birthday. 
– Blog registration starts when you turn on WordPress multisite. If you did this, the 
 date may be off. 
– First post assumes that there a post_id=1 and uses the date off that.

PC Futures

<h4>Basic Instructions</h4>
Once the plugin is installed, go to <code>Settings > General > PCF Countdown Options</code> to input a name and date for the countdown.
Use the shortcode <code>[pcf_bday_countdown]</code> to output the countdown.
The countdown will output in days by default (e.g ‘105 days until <code>name</code>s Birthday’).
<h4>Changing output type</h4>
The shortcode can be given a ‘type’ attribute, like so:
<pre><code>[pcf_bday_countdown type="days|weeks|sleeps"]
</code></pre>
This enables you to change the output type.
There are 3 types to choose from:
<ul>
<li>Days</li>
<li>Weeks</li>
<li>Sleeps</li>
</ul>
If you do not specify the type attribute, or specify an invalid type, it will default to ‘days’.
Example:
<pre><code>[pcf_bday_countdown type="weeks"]
</code></pre>
will output as
<pre><code>It's `x` weeks and `y` days until `name`s Birthday!
</code></pre>
<h4>Styling the output</h4>
Styling the output is an advanced setting, that involves writing custom CSS.
The shortcode can be given an ‘id’ attribute, which can then be used to style the output using CSS.
For example,
<pre><code>[pcf_bday_countdown id="my-id"]
</code></pre>
would output in HTML as
<pre><code>...
</code></pre>
You can then add custom CSS through <code>Appearance > Editor</code>. If your theme supports custom CSS, you may be able to add your styles in Theme Options. If there is a custom css file in Editor, it is advised to use that for custom styles.
Here is an example of some custom styles:
<pre><code>#my-id{
 color: blue;
 font-size: 16px;
 text-decoration: underline;
}
</code></pre>
This will set the output to be blue, underlined, and to have a font size of 16px.
