    Alex, this is an awesome plugin! Thanks!

    I’m noticing that it looks like spiders/bots are treated as “views” so the stats get a bit overwhelmed…

    D’Arcy: You might try lowering the scores allotted to views in the plugin’s options to compensate for the bot traffic.

    Alex: Great plugin! The one request I’d make is to apply wptexturize() to the output of the template functions. It seems like many plugins forget this, and I’m always adding it back in myself. I count on texturizing in my post titles for proper punctuation, and plugin output that lacks it keeps things from looking consistent.

    Other than that minor issue, awesome work! :-)

    Nice work. I remember when I first came to WordPress some time ago, how awesome your plugins were. I’m glad you won something.
