The question is “Are you allowed to have a stat counter on your WordPress.com blog?” The answer is “Yes”. You can confirm it from WordPress.com Forum here. Now you find out you can add a stat counter on your WordPress.com blog. The next question is how can you implement it? These are the steps I set up mine on this blog:
- First register your preferred Free stat counter. I heard StatCounter is pretty good. So this is the one I’ve got.
- Second login to your StatCounter account; create My Project for you blog/website and get the code; here you can decide whether you like your stat counter being visible/invisible.
- Third login to your WordPress.com Dashboard; click on Design/Widgets.
- A new window will open; click Add on Text button on the left side; Text button will be added to the right sidebar.
- Now open the Text button on the right sidebar; copy and paste the code you’ve got from your StatCounter account; click Change to close it.
- Arrange the Text button to wherever you prefer; make sure you click on Save Changes button to save it
It is that easy. See mine on the right upper side corner.
Update: The image showed up when I first published this article. However it disappeared when I reloaded the blog. I wonder what the cause is. Although the image didn’t show up, the tracker is working.
Update: The image showed up again after I’d changed my Security Program from my PC.
