On a Ravelry group I'm on, someone wants a countdown clock to the Tour de France. She found one here. Unfortunately, the code provided at the "copy this code" window doesn't make the widget appear; instead, it just gives a link to this page, which is buried deep in the mess of code.

A bit of googling yielded someone saying something about having to put widgets in a "widget-aware" location, but that seemed to be related to Wordpress and other blog managers. I copied the HTML text into this post. It doesn't display properly, but the disclaimer says it won't until it's on a web server, so maybe that's why.

Ideally, the countdown timer would be at the top of a Ravelry page, where the moderator has the ability to edit the HTML within Ravelry's parameters.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work?

Not I

I copied a widget which looks a bit different and worked just as well...

You'd hafta set it up...

But the above link produces a counter that works on LJ. It has a bunch of settings and tweaks, then it generates HTML for you.

You'll have to know the time and date of the event.
