Comparing Classic and New Statistics
The new Quick Blogcast statistic tool is now more interactive and offers you more control over the statistics you collect for your blog site. You can still collect many of the same statistics as before, but we've enhanced those features and added others. Select a classic statistic below to understand how it compares with new statistics.
General Statistics
From this classic section, we've removed the General Blog Information, which largely provided only the length of time you've had your blog. The IP Address Report provided information about the IP addresses of your blog's visitors; we are soon adding this feature to the new blog statistics. All other classic statistical information is included in the new statistics tool.

Entries Statistics
Almost all of the statistics from this classic section are available in the new statistics tool. Information previously found in the Entry Count (by Status) section, is not yet available with the new statistics tool; but we plan to add it soon. We do not, however, plan to convert the General Entry Information section, which displayed an entry count, along with the total number of words contained in all entries.
