This is a post from the WordPress app on my iPhone. The interface is simple enough, but seems to lack any admin functionality.
Argh! It’s all broken … (Updated)
I, perhaps foolishly, decided to upgrade to wordpress v 2.5. I’m almost there now, but I seem to have lost all my links and the styles are all out of whack. I’m afraid that you’ll all have to bear with me over the next couple of days while I get it clean again.
Update (9 April 2008):
Well, I think it’s all back up and running nicely again. If anybody can’t see it properly, let me know.
A request for help: wordpress stats
In case any of my viewers knows anything about wordpress … I just posted this support request over at wordpress.org:
I am using v1.1.1 of the WordPress.com stats plugin. Since I installed it (on the 30th of January), the statistics I see on wordpress.com have been odd, to say the least.
I realise that what I see on wordpress.com stats does not include my own page views, so those stats ought to be lower than the total views.
Here are the stats thus-far for February via wordpress.com: http://john.barrdear.com/stuff/wordpress_stats.jpg
Here are the stats for the same period from my host: http://john.barrdear.com/stuff/site_stats.jpg
For example, wordpress.com thinks that my “Beaten to the punch” post has seen 13 hits, but my host reports 3 views (1 entry, 1 exit).
What appears (to me) to be happening is that wordpress.com is recording hits to several posts against just one post.
As another example, my site gets aggregated here: http://ozpolitics.info/feeds. When someone clicks on the link on that page, they come through to the post-specific page on my site. WordPress.com stats are recognising ozpolitics.info/feeds as the referrer, but not the post-specific page as a hit.
Here is a specific example: http://john.barrdear.com/stuff/stat_inconsistency.jpg
Notice that yesterday I got two referrals from ozpolitics.info/feeds. I only had two articles listed on the ozpolitics feed yesterday: “Idle Curiosity” and “Sweating the small stuff”, neither of which is listed as getting a hit in yesterday’s posts.
If anyone out there has any clue what might be happening, please let me know, either here or on the wordpress.org site. Thanks.
