   How could I 'echo' display the total number of posts in all my categories?

   I have a blog with songs in each post, and I want to make the title of the blog 79 Songs. Where the number changes each time I post a new song.

   This is (I think) the function:
   // Get Total Posts
function get_totalposts() {
global $wpdb;
$totalposts = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish'");
return $totalposts;
}

   Then:
   <?=get_totalposts()?>
   or
   <?php echo $get_totalposts; ?>

   It's the last bit I'm not sure of...

   Thanks Podz.

   I ended up using this little plugin called MsgCount, it works easy:

   As of today my blog's title is "125 Songs" (and the number will update itself!)
