Click a Day Stats Refresh
Have you ever pressed an elevator button more in the hope that it would go faster? A street crossing button?
I do that all the time, even though rationally I know that there is no connection between the two. It’s probably the same part of my brain that sometimes buys a lotto ticket when I fill up my car.
Here on WordPress.com I did the same thing, but on the stats screen. Sometimes there would be a bump in the stats and I was curious to what I owed the good fortune, yet I would click and click and click on the chart and nothing happened.
I like to imagine that a lot of you were also clicking on that chart hoping for something to happen, and that we had some sort of magic machine that could collect all the futile clicks and count them as votes. Luckily though we have a benevolent dictatorship here so there’s no need to vote, and when you click the chart it now does something.
The something it does is take you to a page that shows the stats just for the day you clicked on so you can see your top referrers, posts, clicks, everything you see on the normal page, just expanded.
We also tidied up the spacing on the tables and cleaned up the styling a little bit.

nice! this is something i have always thought would pwn
July 14th, 2007 at 4:02 am
I did that before this post appeared ! I love it
July 14th, 2007 at 4:05 am
Yes!
A new toy.
You guys are just as cool as Santa
July 14th, 2007 at 4:09 am
Thanks a lot!
July 14th, 2007 at 4:18 am
Let’s click then.
July 14th, 2007 at 4:22 am
cool
July 14th, 2007 at 4:23 am
Now THAT is cool!
July 14th, 2007 at 4:24 am
OMG! Excellent!! Thank you, this is great, keep up the good work
July 14th, 2007 at 4:25 am
Hey thats great Matt..tried and loved it. Also loved the way you introduced your post..the internal dialogue that precedes a click..cute.
I know it sounds as if nothings gonna be enough, no matter what you do.. but I wish the incoming links were updated more often. There are those which I never get to know of since neither does it reflect on pingbacks or the ‘incoming links’ stats.
July 14th, 2007 at 4:26 am
pertamax!!!
July 14th, 2007 at 4:30 am
Nice, Matt. Thanks.
July 14th, 2007 at 4:33 am

i’m thinking of showing the stats to the visitors… hmm…
July 14th, 2007 at 4:39 am

July 14th, 2007 at 4:40 am

July 14th, 2007 at 4:45 am
nice. thanks!
July 14th, 2007 at 4:52 am
This is absolutely awesome! Thanks a lot for this wonderful feature. I am one of those who clicks and clicks and finally I decided that perhaps I have some sort of tic! Anyway, I like it when something happens and something very very useful is happening.
July 14th, 2007 at 5:01 am
Thank you. I’ve been clicking the whole time.
July 14th, 2007 at 5:01 am
Oh.. very interesting…. great feature.. Thanks..
July 14th, 2007 at 5:02 am
Cool! Thank you.
July 14th, 2007 at 5:04 am
Hey, cool!
Thanks!
July 14th, 2007 at 5:24 am
Wow, I was looking forward to something like that. Again, good job.
July 14th, 2007 at 5:25 am
Wow great update!
July 14th, 2007 at 5:34 am
Nice. That’s a good touch.
July 14th, 2007 at 5:43 am
Woo, stats page always has the neatest features, thanks for some more!
July 14th, 2007 at 6:10 am
i did wonder if i did something to my browser because the spacing was just odd initially.
it’s an improvement though i still wish there’s a way to measure feed stats as well.
July 14th, 2007 at 6:39 am
Thank you!
July 14th, 2007 at 6:40 am
Thatz a Zing Thing!
U Rule!
July 14th, 2007 at 6:48 am
That’s very cool! Thank You. And I noticed the tidiness before I saw this bulletin. I thought maybe IE had an upgrade or something LOL
July 14th, 2007 at 6:54 am
It’s like pandering to our obsession. Bad, bad, bad!
July 14th, 2007 at 7:04 am
This is great. Specially for people like me, new to computers. thanks.
July 14th, 2007 at 7:58 am
I, for one, really appreciate this because it gives me more information as to what my readers are looking for and reading. You just keep getting better;)
July 14th, 2007 at 8:03 am
Oh dear! My stats addiction just took another hit, cheers Mat.
July 14th, 2007 at 8:47 am
Thanks, that was a good idea…
July 14th, 2007 at 8:48 am
Nice … nice …
July 14th, 2007 at 8:53 am
Thanks, this is a great update. Keep up the good work
July 14th, 2007 at 9:13 am
WOW! This is really great! keep up the good work, WP!
July 14th, 2007 at 9:19 am
good job!
thanks!
July 14th, 2007 at 9:26 am
Really good news, I haven’t open that page. I’ll try it. Thanks Matt.
July 14th, 2007 at 9:31 am
Now that is a lot of fun! I never tried clicking on the stats. Thanx Bunches! (Do all of us “A” types double-hit the “crosswalk” button? lol)
Will it ever be possible to pick a date –backwards, to look up info? My Most Hits ever was December 20, but I missed it, didn’t see what readers were looking at. (Still miss Feed Stats….)
July 14th, 2007 at 9:45 am
This is verry usefull!,
Thanks wp!
July 14th, 2007 at 10:01 am
Nice, I regularly check my stats- I dont know what I’d do without the stats page. Keep up the good work!
July 14th, 2007 at 10:13 am
Matt, it seems you kept a few jolly good secrets (a magician usually, it is said, keeps them under his sleeve) from us during the Greek Bloggers Camp in Ios island, Greece, last June!
Yesterday the Window Live Writer, today this, a new theme a couple of days before, and the list goes on.
But, hey, if uou were to reviel them all at once, then maybe wp should move to Patmos island, the Apocalypse’s island! Thank you Matt for all the goodies you and your team delivers to us!
All the best!
July 14th, 2007 at 10:14 am
Nice one!
July 14th, 2007 at 10:14 am
nice, thank you
July 14th, 2007 at 10:34 am
You realise this is no way to get a stats addict to kick the habit, right?
July 14th, 2007 at 11:15 am
You mean that looking at my blog stats and clicking on that graph like 100 times a day didn’t make more people read my blog???
July 14th, 2007 at 11:21 am
thats really nice
July 14th, 2007 at 11:27 am
I admit, I clicked the stats even when I knew it didn’t do anything…
