Yesterday, I found a nifty countdown timer. Â I wanted to see how long until my vacation.
Well, it won’t work with this theme. Â It might work in a post, which is almost as good, we’ll see.
Grr.
Update: I made it work, by putting the code directly into the sidebar.php and not the constants.php, which is where it is preferred. Â (if this makes no sense to you, join the club, but the short answer is that if I save changes to my sidebar in the constants.php, such as the technorati badge, then if and when I upgrade my theme I don’t have to make the changes all over again, my constants.php file will just copy to the new theme, any changes made directly to sidebar code will be wiped out and must be redone). Â I have no idea why this happens, I didn’t change the code at all (it just calls a php function). Â Whatever, it works.

Ha! My kids still have like 20 days of school, they go forever… Not that I’m really complaining. ;)
Your vacation site looks fun, now that’s a really good thing to count down to.

Sure!
Andrew Ferguson wrote it, and this is the link he includes with it (and if it’s moved I’m sure you can find it from there)
