Blog Clock

Blog Clock allows you to add a clock to your website that will help display your current time in your timezone. This may seem simple, but it’s actually an important piece of your customer service. Customers can get increasingly frustrated if customer support is slow. Customers will start to refresh their inbox to find an update from the site admin, or be frustrated that no one is picking up the phone and there isn’t someone to speak with right away. If customers knew what time zone your customer support team is in, they can feel better. Most customers are reasonable and won’t expect a response if it is the middle of the night for your business. Even if you have listed hours, some customers may not realize what time zone you are in and it’s likely not matching up with the time zone they are in, so there can be a lot of complaints. Some customers will simply run a Google search to convert time zones, but many won’t and this plugin will help solve that problem.

Blog Clock isn’t just necessary for websites that rely heavily on customer service. For website that also offer high levels of interactivity, such as blogging sites or forums, many readers will find it helpful to know when the site admin is supposed to be active. Having a dedicated clock on the site with the right time zone and the listed hours can help prevent customers from getting frustrated if there isn’t an immediate response.

Blog Clock has some benefits that make it a good choice over other clock type plugins. First, the plugin is easy to use. All you have to do is install it, activate it, select the timezone, and you are ready to go. You can make sure your clock widget display is in real time by syncing it up to whatever website you choose. It will never go down and never de-syncs. The plugin will automatically check if Daylight Savings Time is active and will adjust accordingly. If, for some reason, your sync does go down, it will default to worldtimeserver or Google, so your clock will always be working. Even if your site goes down, you don’t have to worry about your clock not being accurate. Many other clock widgets also still use Flash. Flash is likely on its way out and cause a lot of vulnerability issues for websites that use it.

With this plugin, you can choose three different versions, so if you aren’t using Flash then you can choose the option that suits you. You don’t have to choose the Flash option unless you are already using it on your site. With Blog Clock, you don’t have to worry about your clock clashing with your website. There are plenty of options and you can even input the Hex# to get the exact color that you need. For digital clocks, you can customize the size of your numbers and if you want a clock image around the numbers. For analog clocks, you can customize the style of clock, hands, and colors. The clocks are also mobile compatible.

If you are looking for ways to improve your WordPress website, you are sure to find a number of plugins that can help give you the functionality you need. Whether you sell products, provide a service, or produce important content, don’t settle for a website that only does half of what you want it to.
