  I just moved my blog into WordPress from Blogger, where I had inserted code for an external stat counter, which gave more information, details of individual visitors, locations etc., than the WordPress stats. I gather Worpdress won’t allow me to insert the HTML needed for this, so how can I get more sophisticated stats on my blog?

  Well, you have the inbuild stats at Dashboard -> Stats.

  You can also use http://www.statcounter.com/ but as we’re unable to use any Javascript on our blogs due to security issues you’ll have to use the html counter they give you which doesn’t include everything.

  Hope that helps. :)

  We can use counters from Activemeter, Shinystats and Sitemeter on our blogs as well but as carocat said they do not include everything like referrers http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/28/can-i-have-a-statcounter-on-my-blog/

  Timethief, which non-W.P stat counter do you recommend?

  I am not burdened with a stats obsession. I don’t blog for stats and rankings. What I get from wordpress.com is adequate for my needs.
