My boss created a countdown clock but she has asked me to take it
down. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

Just delete the code your boss added to the page.
To find the line(s) of code she added look for a bit of code, which
includes the following URL:
http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdown.html

Hope this helps,
Otto

Just don't use it.
If you have no links on your site, or don't publish it in any way it
doesn't really exist.

I can't be "deleted" just like a Google query can't be "deleted".

Otto,

Sorry to keep bothering you. Can we take the shortened URL and make
it go to a different site?

http://xrl.in/1b4l was sent to 200 people and we either want to take
it down or have http://xrl.in/1b4l go to another location. Possible?

We appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Boyd

http://xrl.in/ is a service that provides shortened URLs (much like
tinyurl.com) except that it provides an API so that other sites can
use it to easily generate short URLs without bothering users with the
details. The service itself is beyond my control, but I am quite sure
that they don't provide a way to change the redirect, you'll have to
make a new one.

It's really best to create your own page and include a clock in it if
you plan to send it around, then you can change everything whenever
you want.

Take care,
Otto
