I'm really only concerned about page views, so it if it counts, it's fine.

This is preventing those followers from visiting my page and decreasing my page views.

I'd like to give email subscribers only a summary, but still allow RSS subscribers to view the full text (since syndicated page views show up in my stats). There doesn't seem to be a way of doing these two things simultaneously.

Is there a solution?

I've been receiving lots of comments/likes on my website but when I visit the stats, the number of visitors is not reflective of the number of likes/comments. For example, this morning I have 7 likes on my latest blog, from fellow bloggers but zero visitors. How is this possible? I am fairly new to this and would appreciate any help.

I also tried using google analytics unsuccessful and subsequently read that plugins are not possible on workpress.com.

I would really appreciate some feedback on the above.

thanks,

Today I had a certain number of likes and that amount was not reflected in my traffic. I am aware that someone can "like" a blog that one has written without actually visiting their page. I just found that it was an unusually high number of likes with a very odd low number of visits? Has anyone experienced this technical problem?
Thank you.

When I publish a new post, followers get an email notification with the entire post. Instead, I would like the email notification to display only the first couple of sentences of my post with a "more" type link that the follower can select to go to my blog to see the entire post. How do I do this? Thanks.
