  I would like to add a countdown timer and a fund-raising thermometer to the left-hand column of my wordpress.com blog. I’ve found countdown timer plugins for the wordpress app but nothing for a wordpress.com blog. Is there any way I can add these things on to my blog?

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

  For countdowns see these posts of mine:

  I haven’t searched for fund-raising thermometers. If you find some, link to them and I’ll tell you if and how they can be embedded.

  The countdown timer was perfect!!! Thanks! I’ll look into fund-raising thermometers and see what I can find. Thanks again for the help.

  I found a thermometer here.

  But it doesn’t appear customizable. I would like to be able to change the colours (the background colour at the very least). Can you see any way to do that?

  Here’s the code:

  <img alt=’easy fundraisers’ src=’http://www.fundraiserinsight.org/libs/thermometer.php?current=5000.00&max=10000.00&curr=36&t_id=0&skin=small_vert’ border=’0′>
