  When followers open my blog’s “New Post” email to them, does it register on my site as a “view” – or do they have to actually click on my link in their email for the stat count to go up?

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

  Thanks for that link. Your readers have to click the link and visit the blog to create a page view stat on your blog. I have reduced my RSS feeds to “summary” on this page > Settings > Reading to compel readers to click in to the blog in order to read the full post. As I noticed on some aggreagator sites were still pulling my whole posts despite the RSS Feed summary setting, so I began to insert “the more tag” into each post as well and that brought an end to that. However, do note that any subscriber can click the “like button” in the emails or in the WordPress.com Readmomatic reader.
