   Does anyone know how I could count the number of post per month. I looked and searched around, but I could not find anything. Thanks.

   Try:
   

   <?php
   $current_month = date('m');
   $current_year = date('Y');
   $countposts=get_posts("year=$current_year&monthnum=$current_month");
   echo 'the count of posts'  . count($countposts);
   ?>

   See:

   get_posts()

   Thanks, but I figured it out another way. I was just creating an Archive page and I wanted to output the number of posts in each month. After reading some more source code & documentation, I found that all I had to do was add the argument "how_post_count=1" to the command "wp_get_archives('type=monthly')". If you or anyone else is curious, this is what i have now:

   <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=1'); ?>

   Thanks MichaelH.
