Word Count Widgets

What's a Widget?

Created by Author-Programmer extraordinaire Paul Hawke, the Word Count Widgets are a set of dynamic images and pages that you can embed in or link to from any web page. There are Widgets to display personal, regional, and head-to-head word count progress.

The Widgets require you to know a user id number, or region id number. You can find your user id number by looking at the URL of your View Profile page. You can find a region id number by looking at the URL of one of the regional forums pages.

Live Participant Icon

The Live Participant Icon is called with your user id number. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/LiveParticipant/75486.png" />

Live Supporter Icon (new!)

The Live Supporter Icon is called with the user id number of someone you love. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/LiveSupporter/75486.png" />

My Month (new!)

My Month is a simple display showing overall progress and how you did on any given day. Light green and red show where you were above or below the goal for the day, bold green and red are reserved for days where you did exceptionally well or monumentally badly. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/MyMonth/75486.png"></a>

Mini Graph

The MiniGraph is called with your user id number. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/NanowrimoMiniGraph/75486.png" />

NaNoWriMo Graph

The NaNoWriMo Graph is called with your user id number. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/NanowrimoGraph/75486.png" />

Progress Report

The Progress reports is a full page detailed report on your progress. Example:

Word War

The Word War Widget requires from two to five user id numbers, separated by dashes. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/WordWar/75486-301.png" />

Region Status (new!)

A very simple graph showing a single region's name and wordcount. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/RegionStatus/161.png" />

Region War

The Region War Widget takes from two to five region id numbers, separated by dashes. Example:
<img src="http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/RegionWar/161-162-190.png" />

Options (new!)

Many reports can now be modified with options. You can mix and match the options, turning the wordcount off and other options on. Play with it and see what you like! Each option in the URL is separated with dashes (-) and can be given in any order.

wc

Turn word count off

days

Turn "days left in nano" on

pc

Turn "percent complete" on

goal=12345

Where 12,235 is the new goal, superceding the default 50K

people

Display number of people in a region

average

Display average words per author in a region (this counts authors with their home region set who have posted a word count)

Examples:

NanowrimoUtils/MyMonth/75486-goal=30000-pc.png
will display "my month" with a goal of 30,000 words and add "percentage complete" to the display in addition to wordcount.

NanowrimoUtils/WordWar/75486-301-100300-goal=75000
will display a 3-person word war with everyone's graph scaled against a common goal of 75,000 words

NanowrimoUtils/NanowrimoMiniGraph/75486-wc-pc-days.png
will display my mini-graph showing just the percent complete and days left because the "wc" option turned off the normal wordcount.
