## Description

### Usage (Create Stats Page)

 1. Go to ‘WP-Admin -> Pages -> Add New’
 2. Type any title you like in the page’s title area
 3. If you ARE using nice permalinks, after typing the title, WordPress will generate
    the permalink to the page. You will see an ‘Edit’ link just beside the permalink.
 4. Click ‘Edit’ and type in ‘stats’ in the text field (without the quotes) and click‘
    Save’.
 5. Type `[page_stats]` in the page’s content area
 6. Click ‘Publish’
 7. If you ARE NOT using nice permalinks, you need to go to `WP-Admin -> Settings -
    > Stats` and under ‘Stats URL’, you need to fill in the URL to the Stats Page you
    created above.

### Usage (With Widget)

 1. Go to `WP-Admin -> Appearance -> Widgets`
 2. The widget name is `Stats`.

Worked right away. Should be very informative for heavy bloggers. I don´t see a 
reason nor and argument for the 1 star reviews. Rate it 5 stars.

Plugin works until you try to modify the settings. Author refuses to do his due 
diligence to fix the problems.

I don’t understand previous bad reviews on that plugin as it works fine. It’s very
simple and informative, so I recommend it to everyone.
