Countdown for Eclipse

Hooray! Al least I did not let myself down.

Notice the change on the side of the blog. Yes! I finally changed the New Moon Countdown Clock to Eclipse Countdown for USA. It's made by someone though.

I just realised that I have no idea when Eclipse the movie is coming out in Singapore. I went to check it on the net, but, strangely, there isn't any news. Weird... With about 3 more months to go, it is strange news that the release date is not yet out.

I had collected eclipse pictures way before, which is a very good idea as it's hard to find nice eclipse photographs now. I have this one which is very, very lovely. I plan to use it for my own Eclipse countdown clock.

It's hard to make a countdown clock from scratch. I don't have the programme necessary to edit the picture, aka Adobe Photoshop. I now rely on Photobucket and Scrapbook to add words to the pictures. For the clock part, most websites do not allow use of one's pictures to make them, or else, it will cost money.

Last year, I stumbled across a website that would allow me to change another person's background. And voila, I have my first countdown clock to celebrate the release of New Moon. Even till now, I'm still proud of my attempt. Frankly, the picture chosen conveys so much and the tagline is just fantastic.

All I need is inspiration to start on the long journey on making another countdown clock that is up to my standards.
