So I’ve decided to switch to ProgPress by Jason Penny as my Wordpress plugin (see my right-hand navigation bar, partway down the page) because I can list multiple writing projects within the same widget.
I avoided the plugin at first because (at first glance, at least), it looked more complicated than the other choices, plus the user documentation needs a bit of help. However, I like the flexibility and customization possibilities of this app. Here’s a quickie tutorial on how you can use it for your own Wordpress blog:
2. Activate the plugin (Appearance -> Widgets).
3. Adjust the settings to what you want (Settings -> ProgPress):
Here are the settings I used to show the progress bars in a text widget. I’m assuming that checking “Display in posts” will add the bars to ever blog post, which I didn’t want.
Here’s what I put in the text widget:
I couldn’t figure out what that third numeric field was for. It’s labelled as “PreviousCount” but it didn’t seem to have any effect so I just put “xxx.” I’m going to e-mail Jason for info.
I’ve haven’t done much customizing yet (colour, size of bar, etc.), plus I’ll probably add some text at the top of the widget with a link to the graphic novel blog I maintain with Beckett Gladney.
And you can see the results at the top of this page. Um, I haven’t started the rewrite of my new sf/fantasy novel yet. 
Anyway, it wasn’t as complicated as I had anticipated. If you’re still intimidated by the above, however, you may want to stick with a plugin like the Scribometer, though it currently only supports one project at a time.

Thanks so much for checking out ProgPress, and especially for taking the time to post about it.
When I have some time, I plan to update it to use shortcodes ([progpress title="Graphic Novel Script (MG)" label="pages" goal="100" current="62" ]) which are a bit more user friendly (but the existing method will continue to work as well).
