No Longer Needed
I decided to search today, and someone else apparently had wanted a countdown timer in their sidebar also! I’ve been tweaking the code (as I did with this theme) to get it to my liking, but this is really exactly what I wanted. Not the way I had envisioned it, but it looks good and works fine, so who am I to complain.
As you can see, I’ve added three dates over there. My birthday (December 20th) and the start/end dates for the spring semester at UTD. Before anyone asks, yes, all those dates are correct. I’d hope I could get my birthday right, and I’ve already mentioned my back to school date, but that last one is accurate. Actually, that might be a lie — it’s only accurate assuming I have an exam on the last exam day. If I don’t (like this semester), then it could be as early as the 27th (the Friday before).
