Run, don't walk to the Presentation page of your blog and drag the Blog Stats widget into your sidebar! It will display a simple counter on your blog now but we will add more stats in time.
For performance reasons the counter is only updated every 60 seconds and because it uses the same data our stats charts use it won't record your hits on your own blog.
WordPress.com News 
I ran. I saw. WP conquered. WP rules.
WP rocks, WP rules. When’s Asides coming?
Great stuff!
YAYY! Thanks guys! It’s a lovely thing
WP.com is getting more and more sufficient, no need of 3rd party counters now. Thanks!
You guys are too good!
That’s great. We probably won’t need external site counters anymore.
This should be interesting to try out.
wow,that’s really great, bt still, have a calender?
hey hey, i didn’t noticed that there’s a calender! GREAT!
Wow 265,725 hits in 4 months, an overall hits was jsut what i asked for, thanks wordpress 🙂
WP is just going from best to even better you guys rock 😉
one more request, can you spoil us and install fgallery addon on wp.com PLEASE
Great widget… now I can see how un-popular I am! 😉
Good work guys!
whoa. very cool
Thats really a great news!
I would have apprecited more updates till now.
But slow and sturdy..
Go!
And yet another great new feature! Excellent!
So cool! Now if only my stats can be more than 2 digits, it would be presentable…
Err.. The Emperor is naked.. i cant see the widget!
Mmm… I still want to see the IPs though.
really cool.Thanks
love it! now i just don’t think, but i *know* that no body reads my blog ever!!
good work 🙂
Thanks alot this is great for me to see how many people have visited…31k in 4 months is amazing for me thanks WP 🙂
Real good! Finally!
This really improved my blog. I learn something new on WP everytime I use it. Thanks. But, I only have 170 hits so I realize I have some work to do.
You guys do great work. Thank you!

Because of these, I’ve now decided to change my favourite Hemingway Theme to another theme. However, I hope you could find ways to implement these widgets to the Hemingway Theme.
Great Feature!
Neat Feature…thank you! And the calendar widget is much appreciated as well! 🙂
and now all my frends wil add it to theirs and il have to do it too and embarass myself,,
tut,, i hate wordpress 😛
fantastic feature. now i need get the hang of blogging
this is a good one. the one thing that i really need. thanks wordpress. u r the best 🙂
Awesome! Can’t wait to add it.
great job. and really, wp rocks.
just wondering if we wld be able to see the ip of the users. if that could be added, it’ll be splendid.
Hey, I started this new blog where I’m trying to promote random acts of kindness. I think this can make a difference to some people, so please take two minutes and check it and leave a comment if you can. http://makeadiff.wordpress.com/
Thank you.
you guys must be over whelmed with all the compliments. there all well deserved. WP rocks!
Jep! WP rocks! When will there be a picture-widget?
When did it start counting? If it is when the blog is created, mine is quite a bit off.
I would love to see IP addresses in the stats. Any chance of that happening?
That’s great, but seeing the hit count so low is kinda depressing 😉
was waiting for that since long!!! Thanks a lot!!
WP rocks!!
It’s a great addition to WP blogs. But we have to understand that it is still in its primitive days. It will have to get more efficient in order to fulfil the gap of the disuse of an external stats counter.
Regulus 2.0 still doesn’t have widget capability… 😦
C’mon you guys! I wanna be part of the party too!!
Please?
I’m with Jota A. Can we Regulus 2 users PLEASE get widget capability?
More Widgets for Hemingway ¡please!
I found a calendar widget for dusk that’s new too! cool!
Did someone elses noticed? FLICKR has been added as widget for sidebar. I also notice few changes in the DASHBOARD. It is now replaced with a “BOOKMARK”. Apparently, the page LINKS are merged along with the “Categories” lists. Now it’s confusing. Thanks
Merci beaucoup, vous êtes des anges.
yeah, i’d like to have the counter for regulus 2, as well. i hope you guys add it soon!
Yes, Bookmarks are now also in Categories.
I was waiting for it thank you!
wow very cool!
Yes, it’s there. I changed my template to the classic in order to use the “blog stats” widget. it’s cool. will it be available to other templates? how to change the format of those categories? thanks.
hmmmm…..Do I really want to advertise my loser stats!!!
Hehehe
V
nice going!
One cool way to expand the stats widget would be to divide it into
blog: 1,234 hits
post: 123 hits
what period does it count? daily, monthly, historical?
thanks.
I am with the creatures above: I hope widgits are enabled for the Regulus 2 theme sometime soon!
Hey that should be a cool feature, n wordpress rocks for sure!!!! But Hemingway’s Bottombar doesn’t have this widget!!! :(.. Pls I need it :)))))))
Seriously, WordPress is awesome!! I love you guys. =)
really neat widget. the best to me 🙂
and regulus 2? when?????
Thaaaaaanks!
I’m happy for all the new widgets!;)
Great Work WP team. Nice to see the number of hits to the site increasing gradually.
Bagus! Bagus!
Terrific new feature — thanks a bunch!
Aneil
That sounds good…
That’s amazing – I have no faith in my techno skills, but what joy – I didn’t need to have any! Thanks for a great feature.
Does regular Wordress get it too?
Sorry, it’s just for WordPress.com.
can i add it to a hosted blog?
Gr8 work WP. I love everything u gimme 2 me. Nize. Even the free service is priceless.
Longlive WP
cool, but would be nice to have option to hide it from visitors or to have it in the admin panel
wordpress ROX!!!
ah hah. thankx.
Its really good to give us an option for sort our “Categories” in sidebar widget.
I love classification and sorting anything 😉
Thanks.
Very non-intrusive counter. I like that. Thanks!
very cool, me like it!
