Word Counting on Your Blog

In Writing 3: June 13th, Rick mentions a handy tool for counting words, the Cut & Paste Word Count tool from JavaScript Kit. You can add it to a widget at the foot of your blog (that is, if your template has a footer), and count words in quickposts without having to open a word processor. I'm going to try it now!

There it is, right between the proto-portfolio and the WinK Events calendar:


[74 words]

  1. "Close enough for government work," as the saying goes! The Cut and Paste Word Count calculated 72 words for my quickpost.

    I had Microsoft Word running already, for some document that started it automatically, so I pasted in and counted the same clipping there: 74 words!

    That made me curious enough to fire up my favorite word processor, NeoOffice (equivalent to OpenOffice for Windows). Lo and behold: 73 words!
