A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me to build a WordPress plugin to display a Gunning-Fog analysis on his blog. The math part was pretty easy stuff. I was having a borch of a time getting the plugin to count syllables, so I hunted through Google and found someone else had written a pretty good function to do that. I squished it all together and it seems to be working pretty good.
You can download the plugin here and see it in action here.

Hey,
That’s pretty cool. What function did you find for calculating syllables?
I just wrote a tool that will crawl all of the posts from an RSS feed and show you readability statistics (including Gunning-Fog). You can check it out at http://immike.net/charlotte
what happened to this plugin? right now a download returns a 404 error. Is it still available anywhere?
