The last word count plugin I told you about was a little off. It counted higher than the number of words in the post. I tried another one that counted the words lower. I don’t understand why they’re so wrong, but it is truly annoying.

However, someone has gotten it right. I found a word count plugin that does its job and does it well. I tested it on multiple entries and found it to be right on each one. The only drawback to this is that you can only view the post count after the post has been saved. So if you’re in the middle of writing a post and you want to see how many words you’ve typed so far, simply click ‘Save and Continue Editting’ and then when it reloads the count will be at the top over the title.

Big thanks to the programmer, this plugin is very helpful to me.

It seems a lot of people have switched over to ‘do follow’.

Back in the day before spam protection, Wordpress put in a ‘no follow’ code to all the links. This was so spammers wouldn’t benefit from spamming your blog and, therefore, wouldn’t spam you. Didn’t stop them, did it? They still got the visitors, which seems to be mostly all they cared about.

So now that we have the wonderful Akismet plugin, there’s really no reason for this ‘no follow’ tag anymore. Most people are installing plugins to remove it from their Wordpress completely. I have just installed it to this blog, as well. People are even going as far as to put up ‘You Comment, I Follow‘ banners on their site to let their visitors know how much they appreciate their comments.

Get your own Do Follow plugin for Wordpress.

If you like to do sponsored reviews, like so many people do, you might find this plugin handy. I’m not sure what else you would need to know the number of words in a post for.

Over at Lep’s Lair (beware of popups) there is a new plugin for your Wordpress. This plugin allows you to calculate the number of words in a post when you’re done. So when you’re writing a post for a customer or a review for a sponsored site you can easily and quickly see how many words are in the post without having to count each one, like I’ve been doing.

It’s been really handy for me so far. I love it. 119 words in this post.
