  It should’ve clicked over today from 8 months to 7, but remains obdurately as it was.
  Is it the widget?
  Is it the theme in which the widget is set?
  Is it me?

  The widget is not designed as one would expect. See here please https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/milestone-widget-upgrade?replies=21

  Here are some alternate countdown timers:

  Ah, I see, timethief – thank-you. I always enter some terms into the search box before posting; but the problem is that one usually gets a bewilderingly large result that doesn’t in the short term show what one seeks.
  I shall now check those links.
  Much obliged!

  I use Google search because it’s faster, more relevant and more comprehensive.

  Panos’ countdown links are all much too flashy for me; animation is well outside my elderly arena.
  The link to the forum discussion on the milestone widget seems to indicate that there is simply no solution: why is this acceptable?
  Why does WordPress offer a widget that doesn’t work?
  Would you be good enough to pass on my question, please? – surely there must be a staff support response to a non-functional widget …?
