Thanksgiving countdown widget

A live countdown that ticks every second and fits any width, from a sidebar to a full column. WordPress: add a Custom HTML block. Squarespace: a Code block. Blogger: an HTML/JavaScript gadget. Ghost: an HTML card. No sign-up, and it sets no cookies on your site.

See the Thanksgiving countdown page, or make a countdown to your own date and press “Embed on your site”.

How it works and common questions

Three ways to add it

  • Widget: the live board, ticking every second, for any page that takes HTML. It fits its column, from a sidebar to the full width.
  • Badge: an image of the days left with a link, as HTML, Markdown or forum code, for places that strip widgets.
  • Link: the widget’s address, for site builders that embed a web page from its address (Notion, Google Sites, Wix).

Questions

Is the countdown widget free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no account and no limit on how many pages show it. Copy the code, paste it into your page, and it keeps itself up to date.

Does it track my visitors or set cookies?

No. The widget runs no analytics and sets no cookies on your site, so it needs no consent banner. ClockMath only notes which sites show it, by the site’s address, to see where the widgets are used.

What time zone does it count in?

Each visitor’s own. A countdown to Christmas reaches zero at midnight on December 25 wherever the visitor is, and an eclipse or a fixed launch time counts to the same instant everywhere.

How do I add it to WordPress, Squarespace or Blogger?

Paste the widget code into a Custom HTML block (WordPress), a Code block (Squarespace), an HTML/JavaScript gadget (Blogger) or an HTML card (Ghost). On WordPress.com’s Free and Personal plans, which remove widgets, use the image badge instead.

How do I add it to Notion, Google Sites or Wix?

Choose Link and copy the address. In Notion, type /embed and paste it; in Google Sites, use Insert, Embed, By URL; in Wix, add Embed a Site. Make the box about 230 pixels tall.

What is the countdown badge?

A small image of the days left, such as “43 days until Christmas”, linked to the countdown page. It works where widgets can’t: forums, newsletters, GitHub README files and site builders that strip embeds. It updates during the day; the live widget ticks every second.

Can I make a countdown to my own date?

Yes. Make it in the countdown tool, with a title and a time, then press “Embed on your site” and pick a board colour. It works for a launch, a wedding, an exam or the last day of school.
