Finally. Ok, that makes perfect sense. So, the total number reflects how many on Twitter follow my posts, or just how many twitter followers I have in my Twitter account?

Since you have Publicize setup via Twitter, we add the number of blog Followers to Twitter Followers for a total Follower number.

If you had Publicize setup via Facebook, we would also include your Friends in that total.

The numbers in my "follow blog" widget grow every day that I post, but my site stats stay the same.

It's been like that since I started the blog, so I'm concerned. Thanks for your help :)

WordPress com Staff have made it easy for members to “like” what they are reading, wherever they are reading it (Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results, Posts, Pages, Media). http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/more-likes/

A follower can click the “like” button without visiting your blog and creating a page view stat.

  • A follower can click the “like” button when viewing your posts in the Readomatic reader on the home page of WordPress.com
  • A follower can click the “like” button when viewing your posts on the Topics pages.
  • A follower can click the “like” button when viewing your posts when using an app.
  • An email subscriber can click the “like” button in the email they receive of your new posts without visiting your blog.

P.S. To compel readers to click into my blog to read the full post I have set my RSS Feed to “summary” on this page > Settings > Reading

Let me throw some numbers, and perhaps that will help. My "follow blog" widget on my home page shows 94 followers. My site stats shows five. Whenever I posted a couple times this morning, by "follow blog" went up ubruptly from 76 to 94 - but it only shows I had nine views of my site today.
Am I being dense?

The follow widget reflects those following your posts. Does reading these help?

I added a "follow blog" widget to my site, and it now displays a number for those following me. But in my site stats, under "totals, followers, and shares" it gives me a completely different number. what gives?
Thanks,
Thomas
