It's a countdown!

Here's something fun - have you ever wanted a way to show visually your library's progress toward some goal? Maybe you have a YA group reading their way through 100 books, or you'd just like to track how many blog posts you manage in a month.

Here's a tool for you:
The Ticker Factory lets YOU
create your very own graphical tracker.

Although the main push of the site appears to be tracking for babies, ovulation/menstruation, the trackers available include some for building your savings, crafts & hobbies, weddings & birthdays & special events, weight loss & fundraising. With a wide variety of ticker rulers to choose from, you can create and re-configure to your heart's content.

I created this one for a fictional event to take place next month.

After selecting the ticker & slide you like, the site generates the html code for you - you can choose from large or small image size, light or dark backgrounds, and then just select the code appropriate for your particular intended use. The tickers can be used on Facebook, message boards, MySpace, MSN, webpages, blogs (duh!), and are even with iGoogle.
