  I was wondering if there is some place I can find the total number of “likes” my posts have received. Not the total followers, the total likes the posts have accumulated. Thanks.

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

  Go to your notifications page http://wordpress.com/#!/notifications/
  Scroll down to “likes” and click the link.

  Do be aware the likes and shares are not pages view stats.

  Likes and shares are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can “like” and “share” your posts in several locations such as in email and the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.

  Consider this please: If you provide full posts in your feed then what incentive is there for any readers to click into the blog and create a page view stats?

  See here for what I do to compel readers to read posts on my site > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/07/09/wordpress-followers-likes-and-stats

  Also be aware that there are attention seeking like button spammers.
