  Why? What useful purpose would that information provide sine ISPs have been placing hundreds of us in the same IP block now to save money for over a decade? Also note that many of us have dynamic,ic (ever changing) IPs.

  If you wish you can install a free third party Feedjit widget (non-JavaScript version) Feedjit in a text widget. I repeat that we can only use the HTML version (non-Javascript) version so be sure you get the correct code. HTML feedjit code for wordpress.com blogs, MySpace, Windows Live Spaces, LiveJournal and Hi5 users > http://feedjit.com/joinimg/

  Step 1: Customize It! (Choose your color scheme, widget width, and the maximum number of entries to be displayed.)
  Step 2: Copy the code into your site HTML or into a text widget and display it in your sidebar.

  P.S. Note that privacy is a big issue online and some visitors response to your tracking them will be to head for the hills when they see the feedjit in your sidebar.

  Also note the WordPress.com Stats entry in support docs > http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info
  We cannot install Google Analytics on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. There is no upgrade here aside from your blog being accepted into VIP hosting that allows you to run Google Analytics.

  This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We bloggers cannot access metadata on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and install any tracking code, we have no FTP access and we cannot install any plugins.

  FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You will need to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set you your own WordPress.org software install to be able install any plugins like Google Analytics.
