  Oh fluff and stuff! Someone else blindly tagged this thread for Staff. I came alone and assumed they had checked out your blog and made sure it actually was being free hosted by WordPress.com.

  In fact this blog http://www.themissingniche.com/ is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  We provide support only for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs being hosted right here on this multiuser blogging platform. That’s not one of them and you are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  Thanks!
  One more question. I lost all the “reads” so now my popular posts aren’t popular anymore :( Is this normal or is there a widget to fix that. Can’t seem to sort through all the data on this issue on the internet.
