 * I’d like to find a simple plugin to calculate the total number of posts (and 
   pages, if possible) on my blog at any given time. The # should only appear in
   the admin section.
 * The purpose is to attract advertisers with an accurate estimation of the size
   of my blog (such as on Text Link Ads).
 * I tried the one available here: [http://andersdrengen.dk/projects/](http://andersdrengen.dk/projects/)
   however it just pulls up a count in the public view of the blog, not the admin
   area.
 * Thanks in advance!
 * ps – my blog is [http://www.gobackpacking.com/Blog](http://www.gobackpacking.com/Blog)

 * That already happens in WP without a plugin. If you at the “Blog Stats” under“
   Latest Activity” in your dashboard you’ll see the total number of posts. It doesn’t
   list the number of pages though.
 * This is in 2.1.3.

 * Oh duh, I only see the # of posts and comments every day!
 * Thanks for drawing my attention to that stat.
