  I’ve just changed to self-hosting. I love the stats feature in WordPress.com, the one showing geographical location of visitors to my blog, as well as summaries etc.. Is this new stats package available for self-hosted blogs? And if so, what’s it called – I’m a bit daunted by the sheer number of widgets/plug-ins available.
  I’ve installed the JetPack plugin but the stats seem to be the basic ones previously available on WordPress.com.
  Any help much appreciated.

  Jetpack is the right way to go. You can still see the WordPress.com stats interface, but for the new blog, at http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/

  Just make sure that you select the right blog from the drop-down menu near the top-right.

  Thanks.
  I’ve followed your advice and indeed the stats for the new blog are there.
  Just to check: there’s no way to incorporate the more detailed stats, ie the ones showing where viewers are located etc, directly in the new blog? ie, I need to pop back to WordPress.com to see the info for the new blog?

  That is correct, the view in your Dashboard is a bit older than the view at my-stats, which will probably completely replace it somewhere down the line.

  Thanks again – that’s saved me a lot of time searching through all the stats widgets/plug-ins!
