Added two new shortcodes: futpostcount shows the number of posts set to publish in the future, and draftpostcount the number of drafts. Refer to the list for all available codes.

• postsperdayavg – the average number of published posts per day

I’m happy to announce the release of a new WordPress plugin of mine called Shortcode.

Since WordPress 2.5, users have been able to insert special macro codes called shortcodes into their blog posts and pages. Shortcode is a plugin that adds useful, preconfigured shortcodes to your WordPress install, ready to use on any post or page you want. Version 0.1 of this plugin has a total of four codes useful for showing off your blog statistics. I plan on updating Shortcode frequently with more (and more diverse) codes.

You can grab the latest version of Shortcode from the WordPress Plugin Directory. I’ve also set up a page for the project.
