Have you ever wondered how a website gets a countdown timer on it? Ever wanted it for a program that you are having?
Well countingdownto.com lets you do it. You can either choose to create a simple widget, or an actual web page that you can link to.
Obviously, most free websites are there to make money, and this one is no exception. If you want more features, you have to pay for the lifetime membership Pro version. It gives you more color options, more text options, and doesn't have countingdownto's link at the bottom of your timer.
But, for a simple widget or link, the free version does a pretty snazzy job of giving you a feature that I know I normally don't get =D
An example of the widget is above, and here is an example of the web page. (FYI, we actually are doing a Hunger Games showing on October 20 from 6-9pm. Pizza and snacks will be provided, and we'll have a few discussion questions at the end while we're munching. This program is a part of North Idaho Reads (more info will be coming in another post, but if you want more info now, you can check out the website.)
