Days Until Countdown Google Gadget
You can add a Google Gadget to your Google Personalized Homepage that will countdown the days until an event takes place.
To do this, click on “Add Content” in the upper left hand corner of your Google Personalized Homepage, then click the little “Add by URL” link to the immediate right of the “Search Homepage Content” button.
Then copy-paste in this url, changing the date and and event name as you’d like:
http://dominik.net/hidden/days-until-xml.php?year=2009&month=5&day=10&event=Graduation
That particular date is the date I graduate from law school (982 days until as of today).
If you’re at Ave Maria School of Law and just want to add that without having to go through all the trouble above (which is only really necessary if you want more flexibility in terms of the date and event), you can just click this button here:
To expound on the customizability, you could Add by URL this address:
http://dominik.net/hidden/days-until-xml.php?year=2006&month=10&day=20&event=I turn 23
That would count the days until I turn 23 years old. I hope folks find this little gadget useful and fun!
