  Hi,

  My blog is fairly new with just 4 blog posts. So, I am new and cant understand how the Stats work. So, I have two questions:

  1. The number of views is 38 – Does it count my own visits to my blog ?
  2. The number of visitors are 10 – Does it count me every time I login and visit ? What if I logout and visit – Would that make the count go up as a new visitor !!

  Thank you so much in advance.

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

  Hello,

  Visits you make to your own publicly available blog (when logged in to your account) are not reflected in your stats. However, if you are logged out your view will be counted.

  If you would like to learn more about how stats work, there is some useful WordPress.com Stats documentation.

  Hope that answers your questions.
