2012 is near and I am sure everyone of you is awaiting this moment eagerly. I have modified the countdown widget for Christmas
a little to set it for new year. This widget can easily be added to
both blogspot or wordpress. Simply copy the code and paste it in your
templates. The moment new year starts, the widget will prompt an alert
message saying: "Happy New year Everybody!" sharp at 12.00 a.m. The
clock disappears the moment new year arrives and prompts the alert
message. The clock has military standard format with hours, minutes and
ticking seconds. This widget is created using a simple script with no
flash. For flash clocks kindly check the Flash clocks collection. Lets add it to blogger.Tip: Paste the entire code given in step#4 inside the HTML editor.
Add count Down Widget To Blogger
- Go To Blogger > Design
- Click " Add a gadget"
- Choose HTML/Javascript widget

//Create your own custom format function to pass into cdtime.displaycountdown()

//Use arguments[2] to access "Minutes" left
//Use arguments[3] to access "Seconds" left

//For example, if "baseunit" is set to "hours", arguments[0] becomes meaningless and contains "n/a"
//For example, if "baseunit" is set to "minutes", arguments[0] and arguments[1] become meaningless etc
