  I have two likes on my blog, but the stats don’t reflect that. I have one view but two likes. How is that possible?
  Blog url: http://caliricanscribe.wordpress.com/

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

  For clarity likes and shares numbers are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat. Those who have username accounts only but no blog can become followers and click the “like” and/or “share” buttons. Those who do not have accounts cannot use the like button. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/07/09/wordpress-followers-likes-and-stats/
