Resolved - Add reading time to a post
http://andytaylor.me/2013/04/07/reading-time/
Some of my posts now include an estimated reading time. I did this by taking the Liquid Filter, number_of_words and—based on a reading rate of 180wpm—used other Liquid filters to convert it to an approximate reading time.A reading time on very short posts seemed a bit silly. I found a clever bit of template logic on Stack Overflow that enabled me to only show it on posts that are greater than 250 words.

Implemented on July 1, 2013 - used reading rate of 180 wpm. displayed number in the heading title for a blog post, the title text which is displayed on a mouse-over. also displayed at the bottom of the blog post. and displayed on the stream home page for blog posts. the count is displayed when at least 180 words exist.
