OK.
So maybe I’m getting a bit carried away here. Setting myself up for failure or something.
But … it’s so much fun right now.
I was out looking around the internet, as I sometimes do, and tripped across a great blog out there. With a great background picture …It might even be as cool of a typewriter as the old Royal Typewriter I recently got from my Mom.
But in the mushy middle of my looking around that blog, which uses a great theme (Choco) by the way, I saw that she had a really cool widget. One that would count NaNoWriMo words and post the results back to her WordPress.com blog page.
I had to have it.
So out I went to Google. No luck.
Back to her blog page. No luck.
Posted a question to her which she answered. No luck.
Went looking around WordPress.com. No luck.
Went looking around NaNoWriMo.org. No luck.
So I posted a Forum post. You know … “Hello, I’m a moron who can’t find something that is clearly right in front of my very eyes” … or words to that effect.
And of course, NaNoSeconds after I posted that, I found the place where you could find a widget for NaNoWriMo.
Shrewdly hidden on the page called http://nanowrimo.org/widgets.
Go figure.
So for those of you who might want something like the hand-dandy widget you see here to the left on my blog, just go there and it will explain … in great detail … how you, too, can have a nice widget on your WordPress.com page.
Nineteen days and counting …

Glad you found it. I knew it took me a while to find it, I just couldn’t remember where I found it, just that I thought it had come from NaNo… LOL! Love the typewriter your mom gave you. I had one that my aunt gave me but it was lost in the move.

Oh no! Sorry you lost the typewriter. I got mine when my parents recently moved from a four bedroom house to a one bedroom apartment. Lots of “treasures”.

I’ll eventually find another at a thrift store, flea market, or the like. One day I hope to have that red Corona sitting on a table in my writing room 😀

Had it…Wishing I still had it. Though it was pretty, alas it did not work. The next one I get, which will not get lost in a move, will work. 😀
