## Description

Heres a tiny plugin that will show the total number of spams caught by askismet 
since your very first post. You can include it anywhere in your template.

### Un-Installation

 * go to the Plugins main menu and find SpamCount, then click Deactivate
 * delete the files from your `wp-content/plugins` directory

## Installation

 1. upload the contents of the zip file to your `wp-content/plugins` directory
 2. go to the Plugins main menu and find `SpamCount`, then click Activate

Usage:

if (function_exists(spamcount)) { _spamcount();_ }

Default output will look like:

10253 Spams caught since Jun 2006

To show just the number use:

if (function_exists(spamcount)) { _spamcount(number);_ }

And to have custom text use:

if (function_exists(spamcount)) { _spamcount($text = ‘somecustomtext’);_ }

Which would show as:

10253 somecustomtext Jun 2006
