I’ve taken up making Flash Countdown widgets.

Recently I discovered a website that a lot of authors use to make countdown widgets for their upcoming books will be put to rest this spring. I’ve decided since that was happening that I needed to figure out how to make my own countdown widgets..AND I HAVE ALMOST succeeded.
