    I’m simply using WordPress’ stats counter. I’m a bit of a newbie to this site, so I hope I’m responding appropriately, raincoaster.

    Thanks to thesacredpath for your answer.

    Should I be using something in addition to wordpress stats? By just using WP, am I getting an accurate view of my number of visitors? I realize WP is showing page views and I would like to know about the number of unique visitors.

    You can use statcounter on your blog here, or sitemeter. You have to use the plain HTML versions though, not the javascript versions, and you place the code into a text widget in your sidebar.

    Their used to be an FAQ that explained how to do that, but since they switched over to to “support” instead of the FAQ’s, that document is now gone.

    Statcounter and sitemeter will both give you “unique” visitors, but all of the services count things a little different so the “pageviews” will likely never match up.
