Meks Time Ago

Hi,

I just want to share my thoughts on this one. :)

Plugins is very easy to install and setup, it deserves 5 start for sure. I would only recommend moving its setting from General settings page to some more visible spot inside admin navigation. 


Very useful and easy to use

Love it when plugins just work

Automatically change your post date display to "time ago" format like 1 hour ago, 3 days ago, etc...
