mw_get_post_info can return any or all of the word and image counts, a list of the post's categories, and comment/ping status for current post. Accepts two parameters: a series of letters that define the order of what's shown, and the separator character to put between each of the bits of information (' | ' by default; note the spaces). Also contains the function the_plain_categories, which returns the post categories in plain text with an optional separator (' ' by default, or a single space).
