Linking to The World Clock

You may link to The World Clock, for personal pages, organizational pages, commercial pages, directories and corporate intranet pages, as long as you do not change the contents of the links, pretend to be part of www.timeanddate.com or pretend that the links are part of your site. (See Link Policy)

How to link

Generally, you could just find the page you want to link to, and copy the address in the Location-field of your webbrowser, e.g. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ and use that as a link, e.g.

Tips and Tricks

Linking to the Personal World Clock

It's generally a bad idea to link to your Personal World Clock at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/personal.html because it is personal - other people will not be able to see the cities you have, it will only work from your own computer.

Instead, please click on the "Linkable version of this personal clock" link you will find on your personal clock, and use that address for your link instead, so that it will work for other people than yourself as well:

<a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/custom.html?cities=54,111,166,196,215,248">
Time in some selected cities</a>

Linking to the Fixed Time World Clock

If you have some live radio show that is about to happen, some website you are about to open, some chat that is about to take place, and you want to inform about when it will start, you could link to the Fixed Time World Clock, which will show current time around the world when your event begins.

First you go to The Fixed Time World Clock - setup.
On that page, you select city and local time the event begins.
Click on "Show Fixed Time" to generate the wanted list of cities
Copy the URL in the Location field (something like http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=...)
Now you could copy that URL into your html-document, be sure to get the whole address into one line, or it will probably not work.

Making long URLs shorter

Some addresses/URLs on timeanddate.com can contain many parameters and be quite long. These URLs can cause trouble if sent on email, as they will break into several lines in some mail clients. For this purpose, a "Short URL" service is available on most pages, look for a link labeled "Create short URL to this page" near the bottom of the page.

Use of address in other media

If you want to publish the address in your newspaper, magazine, TV or radio program, you might want to read these recommendations.
