Character Countdown Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Help editors by showing a character countdown reference on Pages, Posts or Excerpts.
This can be useful for constructing nice looking excerpts with the break point in a sensible place.
Easy on/off for Pages, Posts and Excerpts, so you can enable it just where you want it.
Note: This plugin does not actually limit the number of characters that appear on the front end, it just displays the count in the backend as a reference as you edit your content.
