Q: How would I make the months and years just show the number days? For example instead of it saying 2 months, it would say 55 days.

A: The only way to do this with timeago is to completely override the locale settings for month, months, year, and years with a custom function. Here's an example:

var daysOnly = function(value, distanceMillis) {
  var days = Math.abs(distanceMillis) / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24;
  return Math.round(days) + " days";
}
$.timeago.settings.strings.month  = daysOnly;
$.timeago.settings.strings.months = daysOnly;
$.timeago.settings.strings.year   = daysOnly;
$.timeago.settings.strings.years  = daysOnly;

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("time.timeago").timeago();
}

Aside: The Russian locale shows what's possible with more advanced custom locale functions.
