word meters redux
Just in case anyone else here shares my fondness for word meters, especially pretty ones:
I originally used the truly gorgeous one that Zokutou did, but that site disappeared from the web for good in 2008 or 2009. It's easy enough to find other word meters, but most of them tend to be very plain and (to my eyes) dull, if not ugly:
10000 / 80000 words. 13% done!
Bleaugh.
I used this one after Zokutou vanished, but it’s difficult to work with:
Build page: http://www.feath.com/aprilfools/wordmeter/
10,000 / 75,000
(13.3%) This one was my preferred meter for quite a while:
Build page: http://svenja.atspace.com/wordmeter.html
10,000/80,000
(12.5%)
But, to my delight, I just stumbled across this one while wandering around writerly websites. I think it's the best-looking one since Zokutou disappeared, and it's VERY easy to work with.
