WordyPost links posts that have the most words. Why? Because I can. In your skins/skinname/_main.php add

<?php require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_wordypost.php' ); // POSTS BY WORDCOUNT INCLUDED HERE ?>

Wrap it in a div if your skin does it that way.

In your skins/skinname folder add _wordypost.php and customize it as you see fit.

<?php 
/* This lists posts according to word count.
 *
 * You are not supposed to call this file directly.  You are supposed to call 
 * it "wordypost", and access it with a require() in your skin's _main.php.
 *
 * This is the second most useless file ever created.

 * The most useless file ever created was the zip file for wordpress :)

Breaking it in half is easy - just follow the method of almost every sidebar content generator, or go to [url=http://wonderwinds.com/weblog.php/2004/12/15/wordypost_a_cute_little_b2evolution_thin]my blog post[/url] and check out the steps towards the bottom. Credits to whoo and mattbta for working up the 'related to' thing that has been inadvertently vaporized. Believe it or not this was that. Sort of.
