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.

A bit late to comment but wanted to say thanks. Easy loading is important as at times I use dial-up.

the new look for the stats feels more arranged imo, thanks

Thanks. Useful stuff. But far more useful would be the return of feed stats!

Great to known good job

Thanks for all your work!
One suggestion: On the “Days” stats, is there any way you can use a different color on the weekends to help us trace the patterns when people log on? Sundays tend to be the lowest day for me, but it would be easier to see that if Saturdays and Sundays shaded differently. THANKS!

I totally noticed the changes. The blog stats page is the first thing I check out when I log in!
Dec 19th at 12:52 am
Now…..If I could only attract more readers.

Nice small tweak. Reading the comments the quicker load is appreciated by people using dial-up. Must watch out for that North American (high-speed) bias when developing stuff!
Dec 19th at 5:06 am
I am very impressed at the hard work that continues! Thank you so very much!
Dec 19th at 11:54 am
Looks great!!
I really like the new format. Sometimes when I look at the stats for the day, I get a small box in the lower right side of the graph area. It has no information, NONE. It takes alot of work to finally change it so I can see the graph for the day. Can you check that out?
Dec 19th at 12:31 pm
Thanks
Dec 19th at 3:00 pm
Nice approach with this. Hope more things are up your sleeves.
Dec 19th at 8:21 pm
Love it when you improve stuff! Thanks so much!

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 20th at 12:46 am
awesome!
Dec 20th at 2:22 am
You guys are great! Thanks for the great place to blog.
Dec 20th at 3:02 am
I had noticed some of these changes. Keep up the good work. This is another reason why I like WP.com better than some other hosts. Constant improvement and stats-stats-stats.
Dec 20th at 5:07 am
Much Better!
Dec 20th at 5:49 am
Awesomeness.
Dec 20th at 6:43 am
Thanks for all your hard work! WordPress is the best for blogging!

I just want to add to the call for a return of feed stats.
After all, I (and certainly at least a few other bloggers, are too) want to know how many people are reading what I take the time to write. (And not just a fraction or percentage of them, which is what we get now.)
Since we’re not asking for something NEW, but a return of something you already had, (and you did kinda sorta promise…) why the delay?
I echo the kudus already expressed above, and the Season’s Greetings… and I like the suggestion for going back further in history in our stats too.
The very best to you all!

The pop-up stats were surprising at first but works fine. Thanks.
I notice there were two other changes with this–
* the glyph for “more stats” for each post has been substituted by the text
* borders have been added to each table under the heading row
Because neither of these changes add any information and actually distract from the graphical presentation of data (i.e., “chart junk” in Tufte’s wonderful phrase), could they please revert to the previous? It also adds additional material which must be downloaded which takes time and memory.

Yay! Now WordPress Works much faster!

I had noticed that already as well. The communication here is just wonderful, and that is something that many sites have a problem with-little or no communication. You are doing a great job on keeping us informed! Lonnette http://sparkle333.wordpress.com/
