Today's Date Inserter

Simply and quickly add the current date and or time to your wordpress posts by using a simple shortcode in the text of your page or post. Simply use the short code [todaysdate] in your text and when the post or page is displayed, [todaysdate] will be replaced by the current date and/or time that you defined on the settings screen.

You can also override the default format by including the format string in the shortcode.
