   Hi everyone -

   I'm trying to make the time stamps on my comments and entries more user friendly - the desired effect is virtually the same as this forum, where (for example) in each comment on a blog entry the time will be written "1 day 3hrs ago"...

   I've searched around and have come across a few old techniques here, here and here.

   Can anyone give some advice on how to get the desired effect?? Either plugin or hack.

   Many thanks - Leon.

   Try this:

   Posted <?php
   if(function_exists('time_since')) {
   	$entry_datetime = abs(strtotime($post->post_date));
   	echo time_since($entry_datetime, time());
   	echo ' ago ';
   } ?>

   I forgot, that's using Dunstan's Time Since plugin - http://binarybonsai.com/wordpress/time-since/

   it works with 2.3 and 2.5
