Top Posts Widget
Venture over to your Widgets page (it’s under Presentation, in case you forgot) and check out your new widget: Top Posts. This one finds your posts with the most visits in the last two days and links to them in your sidebar. You can set the title and the number of posts to show.
This widget is based on your Blog Stats but it never shows the numbers. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with us.

thanks, but I would be happy if “recent posts” widget too would be with changable title, because not all blogs are in english and so I would like to have that title in my native language. In case someone have some spare time, he could fix this little thing..
anyway…
you are great guys!
wp.com is the best thing I have ever used!

Great. But perhaps it would make more sense to include older stats sand not just24-48 hours, like maybe atleast a week or so. Of course, the best would have been top posts ever.
Even though I regularly update my blog, right now it seems a replica of recent posts.

I was, quite literally, going into my view options to “roll my own” with stat data taken from the last 120 days or so. As I was trying to decide what widget to use to embed the links (most likely the text widget), I saw “Top Posts.” Dang… why hadn’t I seen that before?
Drag… drop… save changes… test… DANG!
If you guys keep looking over my shoulder to code the stuff I need, I’m gonna have to start charging you rent. 😉

I would like it tobe able to show the click numbers…. Also It would be nice to show top posts in a longer period. 24-48 hrs. doesn’t make very much sense….

Thank you for all that you do. I am a satisfied customer for sure.
And the price is always right!
If I could make one suggestion while attempting to avoid the unfortunate result of sounding ungrateful, if you could add an option to customize the time span this feature covers, including perhaps a week, month, or even the entire life of the blog.
But again, thanks for all the features! I really enjoy using wordpress.

Cant it be done for a longer period than 48 hours? How about a month? That would be the best. I hope you guys are working on that.
As of now I have put it up manually.

It is a neat idea and like it, but I have a concern. Do people who click on the links in the top post widget add to the count? If that’s the case, especially on a 48 hour time frame, rather mediocre posts could end up in the widget and staying there for awhile cause people think they are a top post and click on them. I too think a longer time frame would be more useful for this widget.
