I'm a Volunteer and I'm blushing re: thedribblingpensioner's answer.

And also, can people follow my blog without counting it as a view, too?

Yes. There are several different ways that readers can become followers. See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/following/

That helped me very much. I was wondering, do you work for WordPress? You help other people so much!

In fact, likes and shares are misleading when you are talking about page view stats. Your followers and anyone with a WordPress.com blog who is logged into WordPress.com can "like" and "share" your posts in several locations such as the Reader without ever clicking into your blog and creating a page view stat.

The people who are looking at my blog are not counting as views. How can this be?? Is there any way I can change it so I can see the people who like my blog as views?

Thanks,
Marcella
