  Is there an easy way of knowing how many words you have written in total across all the posts?

  We have wordcount in the editor for individual posts and pages, but not for the blog as a whole. The only way I know of is to open each post and then record the wordcount somewhere and then add them up.

  There’s no easy way but I think if you export your blog it goes to a file that you can open up in Microsoft Word or a text editor that has a word count feature and then you can count up words from there.

  But MS Word, or a text editor is going to also count all of the HTML commands, and the XML export file also contains all pages, all categories, all tags, all comments and probably a few things I am not thinking of, so doing a word count that way would far from accurate.
