 * I have created a Custom Post Type, and modified the archives loop to output just
   the link to the Custom Post.
 * Is it possible to count the number of items extracted from the database using
   the loop?
 * This is my loop query:
    `$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'cclub','
   orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' ) );`
 * I thought I could count the items using the count() function from PHP using the
   follow:
    `$count = count($loop);`
 * But alas the answer given was 1.
