At the time I’d been using some code I threw together shortly after switching to Wordpress. It worked well for me because it had all the pertinent post informatino from the blog on a single page.

Sometimes I get a feeling, while writing, that my audience's attention span should be just about up by now. That's where I stop.

Hmm, maybe I should quit working on my next (maybe next) post. It's nearly 2,500 words! I like longer entries for subjects I'm interested in even though I know some believe blog posts should be short and to the point in the interest of maximizing people's time. Must be the unpublished fiction novelist in me crying out. 230 words? Hmm, maybe I should quit working on my next (maybe next) post. It’s nearly 2,500 words!

Some of my posts are quite long, and others very short, but I usually run out of breath at about 230 words, I guess.

I did do a little work on converting my code into a WP plugin last night. Should have more on this soon, probably in a new post. I would like to run my plugin across all our blogs and compare the difference in word count between them. It’s interesting how close your two blogs are together in average word count, Sterling.

Tags would increase word count, no doubt. Yes, ChipsTips has been in operation since June, 2001 -- although I only recently converted it to WordPress, I kept the original post dates in the conversion. Interesting.
