  Does anyone know what determines Top Post and Pages? I ask only because my two most popular posts (by likes and views) are not present. It seem to show mainly recent posts, so unless you rooted around my blog you’d not come across reader favorites.

  Just to be clear, I’m not asking how else I might link to them, I can figure that out, just trying to understand the formula. Is it just what’s most popular on the last x days?

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

  The Top Posts Widget displays your most popular posts as of the last 48 hours.
  You can access this information without sharing it on your blog by going to Dashboard -> Blog Stats. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/top-posts-widget/

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/ The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page. The searchbox there provides results from forum threads and from the documentation.
