  Can anyone tell me if there is a NaNoWri Mo countdown widget suitable for WordPress. The only one I’ve seen is Java Script.

  Thank you.

  I don’t see any that will allow a word count to show up. Can we use the NaNo widget code in a plain text widget?

  @brokeartist
  I don’t know the answer to that question as I don’t know what the code is. The backtick ` not to be confused with the single quote mark ‘ is located to the left of the number 1 key in lower case under the tilde ~ on your keyboard. if you post the whole code here between backticks we will provide an answer.

  @anothernicole: go to the nano site here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/widgets and get one of those widgets. Then go into your wp dashboard and put one of the text widgets up. Paste the nano code into your wp widget and you should be good to go.

  It took a few minutes to show up on my sidebar at first, but it should be fine.
