Step One:  Add a Date Script To Your Page

No matter what type of web site you're going to create, it's always nice to add the date to the page. This gives the impression that the site is up to date.

This section contains two types of date scripts. The first is going to insert the date onto your page showing month and year, like this:

EXAMPLE "A" --> July 27, 2006

The second script will insert the date onto your page showing day, month and year, like this:

EXAMPLE "B" --> Thursday July 27, 2006

Choose which of the scripts you want to use, either "A" or "B" and get the code below.

Step 2.2: Then insert the following script in the <HEAD> and </HEAD> section of your page by choosing "SELECT CODE", then hit CTRL & C on your keyboard to "copy" it:

Step 2.3: Now go to your HTML page and key the mouse cursor right where you want the date to appear, then hit "CTRL" and "V" on the keyboard to PASTE it into your page.

Step 2.4: Next you need to choose "SELECT CODE" using the button below, then hit CTRL & C on your keyboard to "copy" it:

The conference call date selector script is really handy for setting up times when you're scheduling a conference call.

What you do is add the script to a blank web page then upload that to your server (or keep it on your hard drive).

When you want to schedule a conference call all you do is choose your city/country in the first drop down menu.

Then choose the cities/countries you'd like your visitors in to attend the calls and the page outputs their time zone.
