Jellyfish Counter Widget

The Jellyfish Counter plugin provides a widget and shortcode enabling you to easily add animated counters to your WordPress site. Counters can be used as a manually updated total, an automatic counter that updates over time or just as an animated visual effect. Each counter can count upwards or downwards making them suitable for both incrementing totals or countdown situations. A great visual effect for travel blogs or any website that wants to display a running total or countdown of anything. Jellyfish Counters are highly configurable through the widget interface, and being generated using CSS and JavaScript, they require no external graphics files. You may have as many counters as you wish on a page, all can have individual settings for totals and appearance. New Shortcode support allows you to generate a counter directly within any post or page content making counters no longer limited to your sidebar or other widgetable area. Advanced users will find that Jellyfish Counter objects are fully accessible via JavaScript and may be controlled and reconfigured as desired though your own custom scripting. Demo Here's a typical counter in action at http://sharkaroo.net/map Using an animated counter adds visual and narrative impact to an otherwise static value.

Either install and activate the plugin via your WordPress Admin Or Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page. After activation you'll find a new Counter widget in the widgets panel of your WordPress admin, drag as many counter widgets as you need to your sidebar and other widgetable areas. Each counter widget has it's own settings. You can also use the [jellyfish_counter] shortcode with page or post content to display a counter within your page or post. Shortcode counters can be configured just as much as their widget counterparts. See Usage for details.
