Wordbar creates a simple wordcounter / progress bar as a Widget on your WordPress blog.
The widget counts all the words in all the published posts in your Posts table. It then outputs either a progress bar, or a box with the total word count across your blog.
Useful for contests like NaNoWriMo, or just for showing off how much you’ve written and published.
