  When I check my stats it says that I’ve had zero views for the past three days even though I’ve received comments and likes from people. Can you tell me why it’s not recording my views?

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

  For clarity likes and shares numbers 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 the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat. Those who have username accounts only but no blog can become followers and click the “like” and/or “share” buttons. Those who do not have accounts cannot use the like button. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/07/09/wordpress-followers-likes-and-stats/
  Note: To compel readers to click into my blog to read the full posts thereby creating a page view stat, I have set my RSS Feed for posts to “summary” on this page > Settings > Reading
