Sometimes when you are doing a little writing…whether its for school or some other project, you need to count the words you are writing. You can write up what you are writing then go back and count each word yourself. If you are using Microsoft Word or any similar text editor you the counting is done for you. Most blogging platforms don’t have that option. This is quick and easy, but is probably good to bookmark for that time when you may need it. A cut & paste word counter.
