Ok...now i got it... one your messages went into my junk folder, but I found it! I tried the countdown on your demo page and got it to work. Then followed the steps on mine. I didn't really do anything different than before except follow through completely. Or maybe it was the position on the page? Either way it's there! Thank you, again!

Thank for your time... I'll remove you so you don't get anymore messages... I'll be changing it a lot!

It's funny - PBwiki won't let me edit (or even view) most pages, but I *do* get email notifications whenever *you* make an edit! – Guy Fawkes, on April 15, 2008 15:33

I'm really not a visual developer (I make things work; other folks make it pretty!), but functionally, it seems ok. The red and yellow(ish) are a bit jarring.

If I click any of the links, I get a message telling me I must log in to the wiki. I guess they've really locked it down.

I changed you to a reader. Would you mind looking at it and telling me what you think of the layout? I don't link the links in the "preparing" section are done yet... I must have gotten sidetracked when I was creating those! I'm just interested in your thoughts.

OK....we're using this as an inner-office information tool. Were you able to read it at least? I appreciate your help, this is my first attempt at this.

Amanda, if you send your email address to my email address, I'll add you to the 2.0 Forum Demo Wiki, where you can try adding your widget. If we can get it to work there, you can duplicate those steps in your wiki.

Unfortunately, you chose to create a "business"-class wiki. As such, you are unable to add any more users until you pay up. Even though you invited me as a writer, they have denied me writer access. I really apologize for this inconvenience.

I have no idea what sort of other restrictions they might have put in place to force you to pay. It is very possible that your countdown widget will not work for that reason alone; these guidelines, like most PBwiki guidelines, are unpublished.

At this point, you will need to contact tom (at) pbwiki (dot) com to negotiate the release of your wiki.

If your wiki isn't private, would you consider inviting me as a writer to the wiki? I'll be glad to have a look at it for you. I am guyfawkes (at) brutsch (dot) com.

Thank you so much for the sample. I've tried them all. Maybe I'm not doing it right... I click on "Insert Plugin", then Productivity, Any Google gadget, i find a countdown, change the info, get the code, the copy and paste it into the box. If I get past the preview screen, it just comes up as the Google logo! I must be doing something wrong! does it have to be on it's own page? I have it on a page with text and links.

I got this example to work. There are quite a few "countdown" Google Gadgets; which one are you using?

Why can't a get countdown on my wiki??

I want to incorporate a countdown into my wiki and I can't get the plug in to accept the code from google. Any ideas?
