Another neat blogger hack submitted by Mario, of Caso Pathologico. He's authored a script to estimate the reading time of your posts, so that your readers know whether they've got time to get through the whole thing before the boss comes back!!

The default reading speed is 25o wpm, but the script is open & so you can set a slower or faster reading speed depending on your opinion of your readers. There are 4 code inserts required to set this up... a script in the head, the code to display the time estimate, a special div to make the blogitembody stand out, and another script that sits just outside the closing blogger tag.

The post and the hack are in Spanish, but the function works great regardless of my inability to read it!! Great work, Mario!!
