  Hi,

  I have a post which according to my stats no one has viewed yet, but it has two ‘likes’.

  Is this because it was liked directly from the reader? (without clicking the post to read it on my blog) It was a video post after all….

  Just how accurate are stats supposed to be? – this is not a complaint, just a question :)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
