The End of the Month

[mdlbear]

Well, it's the end of November, i.e. the end of National Blog Posting Month. The total is 32 posts in 30 days (so I hit that goal); one day without a post (...and missed that one). Somewhat over 13,000 words, which sounds like a lot except that the "done since" posts are pretty huge, and serve to bring what would otherwise be a pretty miserable average up to over 400 words/post.

You'll find my word-counting tool on GitLab and GitHub as part of the MakeStuff collection. It seems to be pretty accurate. It handles posts in HTML and markdown, and can be told (-r flag) to remove posting stats and colophons.

So without further ado, here's the output of word-count -r -v:
