I don't remember the formula. It was a lot of trial and error. The idea was to produce contrast that anyone with colorblindness could see with at most one or two reloads.

My brain is racing trying to figure out how this feed tracking mechanism is working behind the scenes.

Out of curiousity -- what's with the colors on the pie chart? Are they random?

The number does not always match what you see on the web interface but it's usually pretty reliable.

Does all of that readership count as one feed hit?

Feed stats are subject to violent fluctuation because we do not carry yesterday's readership forward. If a web-based aggregator visited yesterday but not today, the entire readership of your feed on that service will be uncounted. We are considering several possible ways of smoothing out this effect.

It has nothing to do with how often you post.

Some days as high as 19 others none.

Also they do monitor two different things. (Blog stats are those viewing your blog and posts within it and Feed stats are those using an RSS reader and just pulling your RSS feed.)

150 total.

Hope this helps,

If you have 100 hits on the Blog Stats and 50 hits on feed stats, is that 150 total, or 100 hits, half from feeds?
