  Dear Happiness Engineers,

  Thanks for all the amazing things you already do to keep the blogosphere running smoothly!

  I’d love to have a flag counter widget on my blog that displays all the flags I’ve collected (as displayed under “Views by Country”). I’ve read the forums and it sounds like a flag counter is available but it’s from an external site (with external support) and it won’t display flags that were collected prior to adding the widget/code. Surely WordPress can happily engineer a better flag counter, using the “Views by Country” data that has accumulated over time and is already there to access?

  “Views by Country” is really simple and beautiful, by the way — and inspired this request.

  Thanks for your consideration!

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

  Flag Counter is a third party provider. They have no relationship with WordPress.com and WordPress.com Staff has no access to their data.
  Be aware that views by country was only introduced here at WordPress.com on Friday, March 9th, 2012. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/where-in-the-world/

  I’m aware the flag counter comes from a third party vendor, as I mentioned. I was merely suggesting the idea that WordPress create its own, since this is the “Ideas” forum.
