Public Word Counts on Posts

By Richard X. Thripp at 2008-09-21T01:13:46Z in News, with these tags: blogs, pages, posts, stats, write, jump to comment form. 80 words.

At the end of the line under each post’s title, I’ve added the word count, thanks to a simple WordPress plugin called Post Word Count. On the post I wrote today, Transcending Limiting Beliefs, it says “4,604 words,” for example. (Quite lengthy, I know. :grin: )

The word counts also appear on printable views, at the end of the info line. Interesting statistics for your readers, I think. This is especially useful on category and archive pages, which only show excerpts.
