Counter Requests

I've received a few requests saying they'd like to see a counter on the P7D blog because it gives viewers some form of anticipation for the next post. In as much as I totally agree that it's a brilliant idea, I personally can't do it because:

  1. The previous counter I placed on there turned out to be unreliable. It does not reflect the same values when viewed from different timezones. This pushed me to load the first post 14 hours ahead of my intended deadline. The counter, when viewed from Manila, had already zeroed out when I had hours left on my end.
  2. If and when I do find a counter that will reflect the accurate time period, I personally do not have the patience to keep resetting the counter every week. Granted that I currently have nothing else to do, I am hoping that it will not always remain that way.
So, to keep things fair, posts will be up on the blog every FRIDAY, Manila time. Note that artists can post anytime within that day so if you checked the site at 10am and saw nothing, then check again in a few hours.
 
We artists do plan on shaking things up as soon as we get the hang of posting and may or may not post items in between normal schedules. So check the site often and see what we've been up to. Better yet, subscribe to the feed so you get them as soon as they're available.

Please bear with me since I'm no web developer and don't know a lot of mumbo jumbo html coding.

Screwed Up Counter

So I just found out that the counter I put up on P7D was inaccurate. I've been receiving YMs from people asking why the first post wasn't up yet. I was quick to tell them to the refer to the countdown as it obviously read 14 more hours to go. Apparently, in Manila, the countdown had already reached zero and they've been repeatedly refreshing their browser to see if the post had come yet. I had no other choice but to post it. Good think Ging finished early and posted it two days head of the deadline and scheduled it to be released (supposedly) tomorrow.

Next week, two posts will be up: a response post by Owee and the next new one from yours truly. My nervousness has dropped a couple of notches since the pressure of the first post has been lifted.
