In which I build a quick plugin
A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me to build a WordPress plugin to display a Gunning-Fog analysis on his blog. The math part was pretty easy stuff. I was having a borch of a time getting the plugin to count syllables, so I hunted through Google and found someone else had written a pretty good function to do that. I squished it all together and it seems to be working pretty good.
You can download the plugin here and see it in action here.
davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.
A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
You can read dozens of essays and articles and find hundreds of links to other sites with stories and information about Ernest Hemingway in The Hemingway Collection.
[…] score for every post you write. Visit his site for the download. […]
Hey,
That’s pretty cool. What function did you find for calculating syllables?
I just wrote a tool that will crawl all of the posts from an RSS feed and show you readability statistics (including Gunning-Fog). You can check it out at http://immike.net/charlotte
what happened to this plugin? right now a download returns a 404 error. Is it still available anywhere?
