Stat Chart Quick Switch
Back in the day we added the ability to chart weeks and months in your stats section. It looked like this:
The bummer was whenever you clicked one of the links it would have to reload the entire page, slowing down the gratification of checking your stats over and over. No longer!
Now when you click the tabs, which look like tabs instead of links, they’ll instantly load a new chart, or at least as instantly as we’ve ever pulled up the chart.
Also: The bars also now slide from the bottom, and there’s slightly different styling on the tables. The bottom-left box tells you when your best day was, instead of just giving you the number of views.
P.S. We haven’t done as good a job as we used to about blogging the constant improvements being made to the site. (We deploy changes to the site anywhere from 5 to 20 times a day!) It’s something I think we can do better in the rest of December, and hopefully keep up the good habit through 2008.

Ich blogge auf deutsch, I blog in German with WordPress!
Merry Christmas!
Dec 17th at 12:14 pm
Great! More stats functionality is always welcome!
Dec 17th at 12:24 pm
Can you make just one of those 5-20 improvements per day bringing back feed stats?!? Thank you for all you do. WordPress is really a blessing to me.
Dec 17th at 12:25 pm
*bark* YAR!
Dec 17th at 12:34 pm
Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (as the kids say). You guys are awesome (as the kids say) and every day I’m glad I switched from stupid, slow, and vile blogspot. Thanks for your brilliant work! Again!
Dec 17th at 12:43 pm
Thanks, Matt. I’ve already felt about a change just about 3 hours before, and I know that you guys from WP made a movement. It’s great.
Dec 17th at 1:07 pm
Matt:
You may think you “didn’t do a good job” – but I think you and the staff are the greatest. Despite WordPress’ growth – you still remain regular folks and I want to commend you for that.
Thanks for all that you do – and you do it well.
To the folks at WordPress – a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year (or Happy Hannukah, if that is the case). Happy Holidays!
Dec 17th at 1:10 pm
Thank you guys!!
.. I personally am a fanatic of stats 
… and yes! it’s too much better now!.
Thanks again! And if we don’t know anything from you till January….(I hope not..).. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Dec 17th at 1:19 pm
yayy thank you! it was a nice surprise this morning to check my stats with the new updated look.
Dec 17th at 1:20 pm
Good and useful improvement! Thanks! Theo
Dec 17th at 1:28 pm
power!
Dec 17th at 1:32 pm
It’s better! Ty WP!
Dec 17th at 1:40 pm
Great improvement in our bloggers daily bread, the stats!
Oh btw, can i have those 20k pageviews too?
Dec 17th at 1:45 pm
It’s cool! Ty WP!
Btw, can y’all make the arrow turn to a hand when ya hover the “Weeks stats” n’ “Months stats, like the “Days stats”.
PS: In the “Clicks” section, it doesn’t show “Yesterday”, it shows yesterday’s date.
Dec 17th at 1:49 pm
Thxs for the upgrade Matt
Can I ask if there are any planned improvements to track individuals visiting the blog?
and their path through the blog site?????
thxs

Nice! Thanks for this Quick-Switch-Tweak.
However, I noticed that with my Firefox 2.0.0.11 (with the Flashblock addon), the graph window is skewed more towards the right of the page than in IE! Flashblock error maybe?
Dec 17th at 1:50 pm
Cool-
Dec 17th at 1:50 pm
BTW, whose blog’s screenie is that? ~20K+ Visits!!! Impressive!
Dec 17th at 1:59 pm
Ooooh snazzy! Only one problem though, the stats seem to load on the right side of the screen instead of straight under the Days, Weeks, Months tabs. I’m not sure if it’s just a problem with me or with a few people but I just thought you should be made aware of it.
Dec 17th at 1:59 pm
Ooooo, nice, sexy … stats [dribbles a little on his tie before wiping away with a handy tissue]
Dec 17th at 2:00 pm
Pretty cool having it all so fast, but the billowing effect is a little strange. I would still love to be able to take a look at my all time best entries by clicking somewhere.
Dec 17th at 2:03 pm
Tried it just now. It definitely is better. Keep it up!
Dec 17th at 2:24 pm
Nice Development!
keep it up.
Dec 17th at 2:29 pm
Alright, this change is very nice. And I really like the addition of it telling me when my best day was. Especially when you have the link in there so I can go see other stuff about it. That’s just some great thinking.
As for the updates, why not just shoot for once a day instead of a major update? Really big things could always have their own post, but for not so big stuff an entire post isn’t really needed.
Dec 17th at 2:38 pm
This is what makes WordPress the best… constant development and striving for improvement. Thanks for the non-stop work, guys.
Dec 17th at 2:41 pm
Holy cow, those do load faster. Thanks much!
My only request for stats now is to see what engines folks are using for keywords to find my blog.
Dec 17th at 2:54 pm
Excellent improvement. A big tip of my hat, if I wore a hat, that is.
Dec 17th at 3:16 pm
*Thanks*! This is very much appreciated!
Dec 17th at 3:21 pm
Thank you so much. As I am an obsessive stat checker, this is greatly appreciated.
Dec 17th at 3:26 pm
I love that little stat mountain diagram. Very sexy. And stat tabs?? Who doesn’t need a little stat tabbage in their life? Thanks Matt.
Dec 17th at 3:27 pm
Cool change! Also, that is a very good new year’s resolution.
Wordpress rules!
Dec 17th at 3:38 pm
Nice work, dudes. This just keeps getting better and better…
Why won’t you provide the comments stats? Number of comments a day, etc…
BTW, what about the feeds? Did you let that idea go away?
Dec 17th at 3:39 pm
Love it!! You guys are AWESOME!
Dec 17th at 3:47 pm
Nice one! I’m looking forward to 2008
Dec 17th at 3:48 pm
yes, I noticed the change right away….
THANKS
susan
Dec 17th at 3:50 pm
nice!
Dec 17th at 3:50 pm
Noticed the change right away this morning- and the new stats link to the individual day with the most traffic! Neat. Keep up the good work.
Dec 17th at 3:54 pm
You’re on to us and catering well to our obsessions!
Dec 17th at 4:11 pm
looks awesome
Dec 17th at 4:20 pm
good to hear that. thanks for update !
Dec 17th at 4:44 pm
Superb
Dec 17th at 4:54 pm
Gooooood!
Thanks!
Dec 17th at 5:01 pm
Yay for more convenience! Thanks guys and Happy Holidays to all WordPressers!
Dec 17th at 5:07 pm
Small drops make the ocean..
keep up the good work.
Dec 17th at 5:21 pm
… very fine
thx !!!
Dec 17th at 5:28 pm
Nice addition– thanks!
Dec 17th at 6:10 pm
Outlook looks more smart and user friendly, Thanks Matt.
Dec 17th at 6:47 pm
It’s really useful, thanks.
But could you please show stats of our feed, and also show the hits of your feed in the widget or in sidebar?!
Happy writing
Dec 17th at 6:49 pm
Much appreciated.
Dec 17th at 6:52 pm
nice… matt looks redish
Dec 17th at 7:07 pm
Cool!
Dec 17th at 7:21 pm
Great job guys \m/
Dec 17th at 7:25 pm
I like the new look and changes…keep up the good work!
Dec 17th at 8:00 pm
Thank you!
Dec 17th at 8:08 pm
Awesome! You continue to feed our obsessions with stat-checking. It’s way fun to watch the graphs rising from the straight line now. And I like the clickable “best day ever”
although mine was too long ago 
Dec 17th at 8:23 pm
Cool, I was just checking my stats before reading this…then I read this article. Nice work for those who are into the whole blog stat thing.
Dec 17th at 8:32 pm
Excellent, though I aspire to the day when my blog attracts 1/10 of the readership reflected in your sample graph.
Dec 17th at 8:51 pm
Great stuff. How about adding a historical feature so you can look back at most popular posts, referrers, etc. in previous months as well?
Dec 17th at 9:28 pm
It really looks wunderful!
Dec 17th at 9:33 pm
I noticed something was different, I just couldn’t pick what it was. It’s great for stat whores like myself
Thanks for your hard work guys!
Dec 17th at 9:38 pm
I LOVE the way the chart rises from the bottom.
Dec 17th at 9:42 pm
nice job. and what a good thing blogger finally accepts wordpress. not quite sure what the purpose of the global dashboard is … hmhm … something to get used to.
vielen dank!
and any chance we can split up the blogroll one day? would be nice to be able to break it up with some widgets in between…
Dec 17th at 9:46 pm
very lollllllllllllllllllllllll
thank you very mach KING MATT!!!!!
Dec 17th at 9:52 pm
I like that sliding action. Very professional.
Dec 17th at 10:05 pm
Sweet! I love it!
Dec 17th at 10:09 pm
Found the best day listing last night (I believe), and I also like the tabs for day week month. WordPress.com is the best! Thanks! – mudge
Dec 17th at 11:22 pm
Finally some new Changes….
Thanks!!
Dec 17th at 11:37 pm
much faster! thank you. This will potentially double the amount of times i can check those stats in a day! er, uh, I mean save me time…
Dec 17th at 11:46 pm
Very nice and very useful. Thank you.
Go raibh maith agat.
Gracias.
Dec 18th at 12:34 am
Thanks Matt
Dec 18th at 1:13 am
Mabuhay kayo!
Dec 18th at 2:10 am
I noticed this change yesterday. It is always a nice change to better from your team!
Dec 18th at 2:11 am
Thank you! This is so much better. The “instant” start we had before (as opposed to the rising start) seemed to fail about half the time and had to be refresshed to get a good load.
Good job.
Dec 18th at 2:15 am
I take it back. I still have to refresh to get them to load. Oh well. Good try anyway.
Dec 18th at 2:16 am
The upsliding effect is really sweet! Really cool what you’ve been pulling off! Thanks for your efforts!
Dec 18th at 2:18 am
While it’s nice – login to google/Blogger with WordPress ID is what’s really nice. Blowing them out of the water with software that works – and even fixes their kludge comment lD.
Dec 18th at 2:18 am
you guys rock. period.
Dec 18th at 2:27 am
Greetings from a snowy Montreal
I think you guys do a great job. This is for me, the best blogging platform that I have ever used. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Jeremy
Dec 18th at 3:09 am
We’ ll see…
Dec 18th at 3:09 am
I’m sorry, but I don’t LIKE my stats to rise up in animated fashion. Please give me some way of turning that OFF. It’s skeeving me out.
Dec 18th at 3:30 am
I’m a stat freak. Not many visitors in my little corner of the world, but I check many times a day to see if anyone stopped by. I’d wish you’d do something to either fully enable Statcounter, or provide the same in-depth stats yourself. Other than that, I love WordPress. /hugs
Dec 18th at 3:57 am
Thank you for all you do.
Dec 18th at 4:39 am
Best o’ luck for the rest of december and through 2008. Thanks~
Dec 18th at 5:27 am
thanks this is very nice, I’m addicted to stats!
Dec 18th at 5:29 am
I forgot to say earlier, can we have ‘stats’ per language? ie stats for gu.wordpress.com?
Dec 18th at 6:40 am
Awesome thanks
Dec 18th at 7:11 am
very nice. thanks!
Dec 18th at 8:46 am
I love everything that I can do with it, and I probably use it a couple dozen times a day, so tyty. Having said that, I’d really appreciate being able to see back further into the past sometimes. For instance, if I were to check it out now, I’m guessing that I can’t see anything prior to 11/20 or thereabouts. It’d be cool if I could drag the display sideways (or up and down) the way that you can with the Google Maps display. No biggie, I’m happy, but seeing how it’s Xmas and all…
