First, load jQuery and the plugin:

- 
 <script src="jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 <script src="jquery.timeago.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
-

Now, let's attach it to your timestamps on DOM ready:

- 
 jQuery(document).ready(function() {
   jQuery('abbr[class*=timeago]').timeago();
 });
-

This will turn all abbr elements with a class of timeago and an ISO 8601 timestamp in the title:

- 
 <abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">July 17, 2008</abbr>
-

into something like this:

- 
 <abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">time ago</abbr>
-

which yields: July 17, 2008. As time passes, the timestamps will automatically update.
