   Is there a simple HTML count-down timer that I could place in a text widget?

   I'm looking for days/hours/minutes/seconds if possible

   Thanks in advance.

   The blog I need help with is fayence.wordpress.com.

   Thanks...the challenge I have is the width of the sidebar.

   The very simple count-down timer is too wide. The max width of the widget could be about 170-180

   Is it possible to eliminate the Title area and just show the days/hours/minutes/seconds? (I could use the widget title to indicate what the timer is for)

   The other count-down timers in the article were too "fancy" for my purpose. I just want to display a timer and not all the extra messaging.

   I'm sorry but that's the best we can do.

   OK...well, my Plan B was to insert it in the main body which I did. Also changed the color to red to make it stand out.

   I tried increasing the "width" but it didn't seem to have any effect. Any way to increase the size?
