Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about TimeSpan

We grab the word count of the post, provided by WordPress, and divide that by an average words per minute (WPM). The plugin defaults to 250wpm, which we got from this Wikipedia entry on reading rate and reading for comprehension.
You sure can – just enter the WPM of your average reader in the "Average Reading Words per Minute" field, found in the TimeSpan menu under settings.
Yep. Just target the .timespan class to target the type, and the .ts-time class to target & style the numeral itself.
We sure are. We're a custom design & WordPress development shop. If WordPress can do it, we can do it. Drop us a line!
