  Hello and I apologize for bothering you.

  I was just curious as to how stats were counted on a WordPress.com blog.

  I know that when a page gets loaded, a smiley face is displayed, thus counting the page view. However, some themes don’t seem to have a smiley face that I can see when a page is loaded, such as the new “Titan” theme.

  If a smiley isn’t displayed, how are the stats counted?

  The reason I’m asking is because I saw a smiley when I loaded my blog using the “Blix” theme, but not when using the “Titan” theme.

  Any help would be appreaciated.

  Thank you,
  Jamie

  I can’t find the smiley either, are the stats still working though? Your theme may be counting users using something else.

  Thank you for answering my post

  I’m not sure. When I looked at my stats in the Dashboard, I was able to see that two people clicked on the link from this post, however, I’m not sure if the other stats are being logged or not.

  I clicked into your blog and would suggest that if you are concerned about the stats program not functioning do to changing to this newly introduced theme you ought to consider contacting Staff directly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  How about you pick a random post on your page that you want me to visit, make note of the number of views for the post and I will visit it and we will see if that number goes up by one?

  Just so everybody knows, I received a reply from a WordPress Happiness Engineer, which was:

  “Hello.

  Some of our newer themes no longer display the smiley graphic, but be assured that they are still tracking your stats.”

  So, I guess my blog’s stats are still being counted, despite the fact that there is no longer a smiley face displayed on my blog.

  Thank you to everyone for your help! I appreciate it!
