 * Hi Aaron,
 * I hope you’re still supporting this plugin (0/18 replies in 2 months suggests
   you may not be. 😉
 * Anyway, it looks like a useful plugin and I’m trying to use it with another plugin
   which collects video content for me. Collected videos are uploaded to YouTube
   and posted on the blog with some topping and tailing words
 * I want to automatically delete the resulting post about 24 hours after I have
   uploaded the video content to my YouTube channel.
 * Not being terribly talented as a programmer, I don’t think I understand the PHP
   strtotime function very well. I’ve therefore selected “Custom” in the General
   Settings >> Default Date /Time Duration field and entered “+ 1 day” in the custom
   field that then appears. Will this do what I want it to do ?
 * IF not, can the plugin do what I want?
    If so, how do I set it up ? If not, do
   you know of another plugin I could use for this ?
 * BWs
    James
