[[pageindex]]UPDATE: shout outs to Zach, Cliff, Justin, and Thomas who’ve submitted bug reports. Their feedback has been rolled in to the B4 July 20 release, available now (look for the link below).
This is likely the last release before the code gets bundled into bsuite (more details on that later).

UPDATE: bstat has been updated.
bStat is a hit and search term stats tracking plugin for WordPress. In addition to reporting lists of popular stories and popular search terms, it will report recent comments and a unique “pulse” graph showing the activity for a story or the entire blog over time.
The documentation for the current release [...]
UPDATE: bstat has been updated.
Beta 2 never went public. This is beta 3.
Changes
This documentation supersedes any previous documentation.
The bstat_pulse() function has been improved and now uses your CSS for appearance. Call bstat_pulse_style() to add my default styles inline if you don’t want to modify your CSS. Also, bstat_pulse() now has two switches to control [...]

I’m testing the [...]

The Movable Type API supports a “keywords” field that I’m thinking can be hijacked as a “tags” field instead, but while ecto sends the [...]
I’m more than surprised that there’s no (decent) stats plugin for WordPress, but that hasn’t stopped me from writing me own. It’s called “bstats,” and I’ll release a beta soon. In the meantime. the “today’s most popular” list comes directly from this new plugin.
