 * Help. I am completely new to all of this. I am building my website and have installed
   a ‘coming soon’ plugin. My site is skilbey.com. You’ll see that the landing page
   shows a timer that I have no idea how to manipulate. When I first installed, 
   the countdown started from 20 days, I think, which must be its default setting.
   When I go to ‘edit’ the plugin, it shows me code and I don’t know where to start
   and anyway, If I manipulate, am I in danger of screwing up other things within
   the site?
    Are there easier plugins than this, for a novice like me? Should I
   just de-activate and find a friendlier plugin. I’d be so grateful for any help
   on this. I need more time to get my site ready. Thanks.
