  Users with a new blog who go to the stats page see a message telling them to activate stats. There is no such option. The solution is for the user to create several posts and wait a day or so for the stats to appear. The “activate stats” message is unintentionally frustrating and confusing for new users. Perhaps we could replace it with a new better message that says something like: “Too soon for stats. Create a few posts and wait a day or so for your stats to appear here.”
