   Hi,

   I would like to add a day counter to my blog.

   I want to count up the number of days since an event happened rather than count down to a target event.

   "It has been X days since blah event"

   I can't see anything useful in the widgets section and my forum searches have not produced anything so far.

   Any advice most gratefully received.

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

   Please note that these do not countdown after an event. They countdown the days up to the event.

   I have a ticker on my wp.COM blog:
   -it counts: "...since..." happened
   -find on MANY websites
   -the better sites: offer tickers specifically coded for WordPress
   -it's free (--DON'T try to remove their visible link, ticker will *poof*)
   -I put it in a widget (for Sidebar) --counts EVERY day !
   -I added it: two years, four months, sixteen days ago!

   btw: look on websites that offer: pregnancy tickers
   (no joke: they have many kinds; allow user to choose all the graphics.)
