  Just curious….Why is it that my site stats say that I had 1 visitor to my site yesterday, but I got 6 ‘likes’ on the post I made yesterday. Shouldn’t the site stats show at least 6 visitors??

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

  Readers can “LIKE” your posts from other places than actually visiting your blog. Topics or Reader for example. They may see only a summary.

  Thanks for the reply. Is there any way, then, to get a count of actual viewers to a given post? (those who visited the blog and those who found it through other sources)
