  I apologize if this was asked before, I searched and didn’t find an answer. I also read through the above 2 links.

  For the blog stats by country to show on my homepage, do I need an upgrade? I only have the basic blog stats count (widget) available, which hows as 2000 hits for example.

  (I know I can see them myself on my stats page).

  P.S. This is not an upgrade issue at all.

  Sorry, perhaps I wasn’t clear; there is a widget on your homepage for example:

  http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/

  Just below your “recent comments” on the right hand side of the page. It says “Visitors” and then lists the countries, in color. To get that widget, do I need an upgrade of some sort from wordpress.com? I know that I cannot install plug-ins, so that is why I’m thinking it’s not available to me.

  The only widget I see available on my blog is the blog stat count which just lists a number.

  Thanks again!

  That’s a third party widget form FlagCounter. It’s free and you can put the non-Javascript code into a feed widget. Click my widget to get your own code.

  timethief, worked like a charm!! If you were here, I’d hug you. All this time, I thought it was a plug-in that I wasn’t able to install.

  So, is this the stat issue that you explained in another forum? Now that I have the flag counter, I see one flag, but I have several visitors from many countries.

  I take it this is what staff are working on?

  I found out the flag counter only starts counting once it’s installed.

  Great tool.
