 * I want to get the post count for a certain year. I’ve tried doing different things
   with this code
 *     ```
       <?php
       $count_posts = wp_count_posts();
       echo $count_posts->publish;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * but none work. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

 * Could use [wpdb](http://codex.wordpress.org/wpdb) on the `wp_posts` table but
   this seems easier:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $count=0;
       $my_query = new WP_Query('year=2008');
       while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
       $count++;
       endwhile;
       echo '2008 post count is ' . $count;
       ?>
       ```
