I downloaded the free bravenet counter but I want to be the only one to view stats, anyone accessing my blog can click and see it. Is there a way to stop this?
Try AddFreeStats.com. I have been using them for 4 or 5 years, and the stats are great. You just include a small link on any page you want stats on and they take care of the rest. The stats are only visible to you when you log into "AddFreeStats.com".
