US National Debt Clock Plugin (Widget) for Wordpress
This US national debt clock plugin for Wordpress is a very cool addition for any forex, currency trading, stocks or financial related website.
The plugin implements as a sidebar widget, that you can drag/drop into any of your sidebars just like you would with any other Wordpress widget.
Each time that a page loads, the plugin quickly grabs its initial value directly from the US Treasury web site. This is the actual true published figure, that the treasury publishes on an (almost) daily basis. It then increments (in 1/4 second intervals) at an average rate. So the debt clock is pretty accurate all the time.
The widget obeys the CSS of your theme. So it is fully compatible with the HUGE majority of themes that you may be using on your site.
The image to the right displays the widget configuration screen. As you can see you have almost total control over what the widget displays.
You can enter your own title for the widget.
You can enter your own text that gets displayed above the clock counter. This text may contain HTML tags and inline CSS styling, so you have full control what it says, and how it appears.
You can enter a CSS style string for the clock counter itself. So you can make it any color, any font, any size, etc.
You can enter your own text string for whatever you wish to display under the clock counter. As before, this can include HTML tags and inline CSS styling. So you could have a hypertext link in here if you wish, or change colors, fonts, size etc. So you can get as creative as you wish.
You can set you own “speed” at which the clock increments. The daily average increase in the US National debt (since 2007) has been 3.87 Billion US$ per day. This is what the default of the widget is set to. But, you can set this to any value you wish, to make it count faster or slower.
As an example, you can see this US National Debt Clock widget working in the right hand sidebar on one of my forex trading sites at http://www.new2forex.com
