  I see on the forums that many many years ago it was requested that WordPress.com consider creating a ‘count up’ widget, but it has never been done.

  Is there a reason for this simple request to be ignored.

  For a travel blog, a count up showing how many days we have been on the road would be a great asset for the blog.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @beaubeauxfamily, we must have missed those requests. I did a little search and found a few, but if you’re aware of many more requests, link them here and I’ll check them for you.

  And in the meantime I have filed a request for you. Cheers :)

  Thanks again, @beaubeauxfamily, I’ve added each of those to the request as well. I can’t make promises on the whethers or whens of this since our developers are working on other projects right now, but know you’ve been heard.
