Default Looking for a plugin

I run a contest blog and am looking for a plugin where I can list contests where the deadline to enter is coming up. I haven't been able to find anything yet. I figure I will have to use custom fields or something.

This is a bit complicated. I don't know a plugin to do this, but I'll tell you a method if you can get someone to code it for you.

You're right. You'll have to have a key value on a custom field which includes the deadline. Then you have to check against the current date and list them accordingly. It's a fairly easy php patch, if you can get a coder down.

Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been going through calendar plugins and seeing if any of them would work, but haven't found anything so far.

Maybe you can find a countdown plugin that will do the job.

I have ended up using Countdown Timer by Andrew Ferguson. Not exactly what I wanted, but close enough to make it work. Thanks for all your input.
