A wordpress plugin for writers that works

I have wordpress.com. Does this work with that too? And what does a plug in do?

I don't believe the plugins will work for blogs that are hosted by WordPress - they're to provide added functionality in the WordPress installation on the person's own domain.

For example, I used to have WordPress installed for the blog I had on my own site at www.lmashton.com.

In this case, the added functionality is for, what? Looks like a bar graph to show progress for WIP. That bar graph could be added to the sidebar to instantly show the progress an author has made on her WIP, much like the Ticker Factory progress bars that some people here have in their signatures.


Plugins can be for anything from changing how comments are treated (captcha, moderated, approved for specific email addresses, spam automatically quarantined) to the ability to add authors at specific user levels with specific permissions to linking to a photogallery program to... Really, they can be almost anything.

thanks, quidscribis, I've been wanting to ask that question for a while.

Now I know.

Glad I could help.
