Title: The Countdown Timer on the Vanessa Website?
Post by: LennyLovesNessa on August 22, 2007, 11:38:18 pm
I'm sure all of you have seen the countdown timer thingie on http://www.vanessacarlton.com (because if you're anything like I am, you check back at least once a day  :razz:). But if not, you should check it out! It counts down the time (to the millisecond) until Heroes & Thieves is released. Well I thought that'd be pretty neat to have on my myspace in order to help promote the upcoming album (I was gonna link the official website underneath it  :D) ! But I've tried searching everywhere to the best of my ability, but I am, to be quite honest, a HORRIBLE web surfer! So I decided to turn to all of you to see if any of you have seen where to make a look a like or to get one exactly like it. Anything would be appreciated as of right now  :razz:, so if you find anything, just let me know  :wink:!

Gah, sorry! I tried searching the forums earlier, but like I said, I suck at surfing the internet  :razz:. But thanks a ton!! Can't wait to stick this on my myspace along with her new video  :D

Hi, I do know, how you can put that on regular or myspace page:)

I know it, because i have it on my Nessa webpage :)

But which one do you like to add: the old one (which is on the Vanessa Carlton Myspace) or the new one?

Ok let's get this straight.. if you put that Counter on your site:, then you will see the background of the counter will be the same as your webpage's :)

See:

I think you have a different counter than us... Cause mine's the one from  VanessaCarlton.com, and it has a red background

Here's what mine looks like (from my myspace):

how come your counter numbers (nessaholista) that you posted before is ahead of Lenny's?You are seven hours apart, but posted two hours behind. You are using a different code, I'm sure. Maybe you extracted the .fla file and edited it or something?...I don't know :?

I don't think it influences the time zone because Im in brasil and I see the same time as the others :/  But now I see where your code makes it transparent, thanks :D

You're welcome,

But like I said, I didn't edit the code at all, it from the VC.com, but from earlier :)
