  I’m just curious – How come I get likes and follows without any readers showing up on the stats?

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

  Visitors do not have to click into the blog and create a page view to like posts. See here:

  Each time you publish new content on your blog, your followers receive an update, either on their Read Blogs page or via email (or both, depending on their settings). There are several different ways that readers can start following your blog. Note that followers do not need to be registered with WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/followers/

  I insert “the more tag” into my posts and I also use the “summary” setting found on this page > Settings > Reading for my RSS Feed for posts to encourage visitors to click into my blogs.

  The “like” buttons appear on the WordPress Readomattic reader page and also in the emailed blog posts to subscribers.
