Automatically update a single word on page once a day?

  • I have a site where people come to play contests on a daily basis and on the front page I list all of the contests we have for the day. All contests begin at 12pm every day.

    Depending on the time of day, the front page will say “Next contest starts TOMORROW at 12pm” OR “Next contest starts TODAY at 12pm”.

    For example, it’s 12:05pm right now so I will go and edit the page to say “Next contest starts TOMORROW at 12pm”…
    then after midnight tonight I have to edit the page to say “Next contest starts TODAY at 12pm”…

    It’s very time consuming to have to do this for 10 contests twice a day – having to edit the page just to change the word from TOMORROW to TODAY and vice versa.

    *How can I set it up to automatically update instead of having to manually update it?

    As always help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Tony

  • There is a lot of stuff on javascript doing close to what you want. I did a search on “calling javascript on based on time change”. Have you looked at similiar sites to yours?

    I haven’t looked at similar sites to mine because I don’t know what to look for. I’m still kind of new to web design and wordpress so there are a lot of words and terms that I am not familiar with. Anything easy or simple would be great obviously haha

    Maby a countdowm that says “next contest starts In” and then a timer counting.. or does it have to day “today”? Since a timer that just starts over should be pretty simple.
