  Argh! Can someone help? The countdown timer isn’t working for any of the three locations … below is the information. Maybe I did it wrong?

  Thanks in advance!

  Where are you trying to place these countdown timers?

  I am using them in the text widget on the right side.

  Scripts are not allowed on WordPress.com sites. If you want to add scripts like this one, you’ll need to move to a self-hosted site over at WordPress.org.

  Ok, thank you. What would you recommend I use as a replacement? I really like the live countdown timers. Thanks!

  I’m not really sure what to recommend. Most, if not all timers are going to use a script.

  You could always switch over and purchase a domain and get a self-hosted site.

  Here is some information about the differences between a .com and a .org site:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I thought about switching over to .org, but it’s for a year and I only use it for 3 weeks out of the year :(

  Hi Timethief!

  I’ve tried to use these, but it didn’t work … But now that I think about it, I tried them in the text box on the right side. Do I need to make a new page in order for this to work?

  Thanks~

  PS – I also just posted a question about resizing emailed pictures. Do you think you can answer that as well?
