Progress bar widget
-
I would very much like to add a progress bar widget to my blog, to record the word count of my current work in progress, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Is this something that is available only on a premium account or WordPress.org? Thanks in advance.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

In your New Post dashboard, at the bottom left corner of the text box, there is a word count. Is that what you needed, or did you mean something else?

Unfortunately, that’s not what I’m looking for– not the word count of a post, but a widget (I assume) that displays the word count of the short story or novel I am currently working on. I have seen these on the pages of some bloggers, but I think it may be something available only to a premium or wordpress.org account; if not, I needed some guidance on how to set up the widget. Thanks.

Sorry, I haven’t seen anything like that.
I don’t know how those sort of counters work, but if it involves flash/java, you won’t be able to use a widget like that on WordPress.COM. All that kind of coding is stripped out for security concerns.
-
One option would be to create a custom text sidebar widget, you’d just have to manually update the count.

All auto-updating widgets use code we cannot use here. We bloggers cannot post JavaScript widgets for security reasons. Nor can we post iframe codes for the same reason.
