The Milestone Widget provides you with a simple way to create a countdown either to or from a given date.
Here’s an example of what it looks like:
You can add this widget to your sidebar by going to Appearance → Customize → Widgets.
The message in the widget will be displayed after the countdown has ended. You may use the following html tags: <a>, <em> and <strong>. If you prefer that no message be displayed, leave this field blank.
