  I’ve started a new blog and don’t really expect it to be popular. This morning four people have liked the post ‘chalk’ which I posted this morning. Viewing figures show no views today. So do people like the blog without seeing it? Are likes worth the pixels they occupy?

  Cheers

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

  Folks can “like” a post via the Reader and not actually visit your site.

  Is there any way I can know how many people see blogs through the reader>?

  Not that I know of. They don’t go to your site so they are not counted in your stats.
