 * Can you be more specific about that process? I am on GoDaddy’s “Managed WordPress”
   system and I can edit header.php but I am not fluent in PHP. Can you send me 
   a snippet of code that allows me to inject this widget into the header?

 * you would not use the widget, you would use the shortcode.
    so first step is 
   to get the shortcode working on a test page and make sure everythign is working
   correctly. many examples of how to use the shortcode can be found in [the documentation](http://plugins.twinpictures.de/plugins/t-minus-countdown/documentation/).
 * how to use do_shortcode is explained in the CODEX was linked to above.
 * What you are trying to do is beyond the scope of the plugin. It can be done, 
   but it’s a more advanced application that requires some basic understanding of
   how templates work in WordPress. If you need help in setting this up, we offer
