 * You can run shortcodes in a PHP template through the WordPress function [do_shortcode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode)
   like so:
 * `<?php do_shortcode( '[countdown date="MM/DD/YYYY" ...]' ); ?>`
 * If, for some reason, you’re completely unable to use shortcodes at all, you’d
   be better off removing my plugin (to reduce overhead) and installing the source
   and building the countdown yourself: [Keith Woods jQuery Countdown](http://keith-wood.name/countdown.html)(
   currently version 2.0.0, the next version of the script that my plugin is currently
   using)
