  Silly question, but Does # visitors include me? If not, If I am signing on from home computer, my iPad, and my iPhone how do you know I am not a visitor?

  Same question for views. Don’t quite understand the difference between visitors and views.

  Example: one day I came in a bunch of times to play with blog. When looking at the number of visitors, did the # of visitors include each time I came in and out of blog play?

  As long as you are logged in to WordPress.com, you will not be counted in the stats.

  A Visitor is a unique individual, where as a View is simply a page view. So, if I visit your site and view 5 posts, that 1 Visitor and 5 Views.
