  I love blog stats but I would also love to see a feature where the days that have new posts have some distinguishing mark on them.
  Maybe a coloured ring around the dot at the top for the day on the stat graph?

  If you hover the mouse cursor on the points on the graph, it will show the number of visits and the title of the posts, posted on that day (if any). A quick hover on the dots may help you.

  If you use the Calendar widget, that’s exactly what it does.

  Thanks for the replies.
  Phoxis, can you believe I never noticed that before?? It’s certainly a help, but I can’t help wishing for a big red dot :-)
  Raincoaster, I’m not sure what you mean, does the Calendar widget affect the stats graph?

  The calendar widget will create a calendar in your sidebar with clickable links to your blogs posts for a particular date. The calendar widget does not let you setup a calendar of events or anything similar. It’s only use is to display links to your posts by date.

  Hi Junosplace,
  If you hover over the stats graph for a particular day it will show the name of the post if you have posted in that day along with visitors for that day.

  Thanks

  Yes indeed and that’s what Phoxis said here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ring-new-posts?replies=8#post-470497

  @junosplace : i know you have noticed the property, but the thing, is that many of the bloggers posts everyday and even multiple posts per day, then drawing a circle around the dots for them would not be of any significance, instead the hovering feature would be easier.

  Ah. Yes. I can see where that would make a difference. Multiple posts knock one big red pulsing dot out as an effective idea.
  But at least I’ve learned something.
  Thanks, everyone, for your input.

  The hovering feature, as far as I’m aware, shows only the most recent post for that day.

  @raincoaster : if i did multiple posts in a day, it lists all the posts title on the hover list. If the list is too long then it simply tells how many posts are done in that day, and does not include any titles.

  Really? It’s only grabbing my latest one. I wonder if it has something to do with my theme?
