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.
