Managing Quick Blogcast Statistics
Here's the Lowdown: You can manage your Quick Blogcast statistics on the Statistics page accessible from the Manage Blog menu.

Statistics Home
On the Statistics Home page, you can select the type of statistics you want to view. Using the Day, Week, Month, and Year icons, you can change the displayed timespan. We do not retain statistics beyond 365 days.
NOTE: The new system does not list statistics collected prior to August 20, 2008. However, if you collected statistics prior to this date in the Classic mode, you can access them by clicking "View classic statistics tool." Click "View new statistics tool" to return to the new system.
Additionally, when collecting site statistics, we do not include visits to your site from Web crawling bots, such as Google.
On the Statistics Home page, statistics are grouped into the following sections:
Visits at a Glance
A line graph depicts the number of visits to your site for the specific period of time you specify.
Detailed Statistics
Each of these options lists the top statistics for that section. By default, the top categories display as a chart.
