I have been looking everywhere for a good countdown widget with a nice Hello Kitty background. I thought it would be more suited for my HKO Founders’ Beta Countdown.
Finally I realised that no such thing existed and I decided to use the one I have, but just edit in my own background image. So now it looks like this:
It’s pretty nice, don’t you think? Also added a little link in my Blogroll to my Countdown, so each day I can see how much longer I have to wait.

That’s cool! Are you planning to overwrite the image file with the updated image everyday, i.e. the file name and location stays the same but the image changes. If yes, I would like to put the counter on the right nav up on my blog too, linking back to you of course. :)

Thank you! Yes, that is the plan. I just hope it uploads as it should so I don’t have to force upload (don’t know what it’s called, but when you do the Ctrl + F5) everyday in order to get the newly uploaded pic.
It would be very nice if you where to use it too! ^_^

Wow, noliai, you’re so good with all these! I was quite clueless when I read your replied comment to your friend above, honestly. lol. Still, I love your countdown widget. It looks really cool! :)

ok, the counter on your blog is showing 13, but mine is showing 14. Is this the correct link? _http://blog.sanriotown.com/noliai:hellokitty.com/files/2008/09/cd.PNG
I’ll leave the counter on my blog anyway and we can see if it updates correctly the next time it uploads. ^_^

ripplecloud: Yes, it’s the correct link.
And it’s really weird that it said 2 different things, since I never move my image or change it in my blogroll. I only remove the image and upload the new one. Maybe I changed it just when you were looking?
I see yours on 13 now anyways, hope you do the same.. :P
For me it takes only 1-2minutes before it changes.

that’s pretty cool, did you consider just uploading and overwriting the image using windows live writer or another blog editor instead?

hkfood: ehm.. no, cause I don’t know about those things XD anything you can explain to me so I can consider it?? don’t know what either are..
