How to Use the WordPress Dynamic Date Plugin

Overview:

Within the zipped folder you downloaded, there are actually three different plugins. They are labeled:

1. Dynamic Date Plugin DD-MM-YYYY Format
2. Dynamic Date Plugin MM-DD-YYYY Format
3. Dynamic Date Plugin YYYY-MM-DD Format

IMPORTANT: YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE OF THESE PLUGINS AT A TIME. A FATAL ERROR WILL OCCUR IF YOU ATTEMPT TO USE MORE THAN ONE AT THE SAME TIME.

You should determine the proper calendar date format for the demographic you are targeting. If you do not know which format to use, you can visit the Wikipedia article on the subject at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date.
