• View Counts - Two Updates

  We got some great feedback on View Counts, so we made a few changes right away:
  

  • Views on your own site no longer get counted - Some of you pointed out that it's weird for your own views to count.  Good point - now if you're signed in and looking at your own weblog entries, those hits will no longer count toward your total views.
    
    
    
  • Ability to hide the view counts - if the new view counts aren't your thing, you can actually hide them pretty easily. Here's how to hide them:

  
  XANGA THEMES
  
  If you're using the new Xanga Themes system, here are the steps to hide your view counts:
  
  1) Sign in, click "edit theme" and then click the "Remix Theme" option:
  
  
  2) click the "css" option...
  
  
  and paste in the following "Custom CSS":
  
  

  .itemviews {display: none !important;}
  

  
  3) click "save" and your view counts should disappear!
  
  
  
  XANGA "LOOK & FEEL"
  
  If you're using the xanga "look & feel" system, just sign in, click to edit your look & feel, and paste the following code into your "Custom Header" area:
  
  

  <style type="text/css">
  .itemviews {display: none !important;}
  </style>
  

  
  That should do it - your view counts should now be hidden.  Hope that helps!
