I’ve been waiting for the wordpress.org/extend hosting to be activated before posting updates to the Stats Helper Plugin. So here goes!

Version 0.4 brings:

• Possibility to specify a timeframe for the stats
• Possibility to retrieve views for a specific post/page (by id)
• (Hopefully) better usage documentation

Get it at: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpresscom-stats-helper/!

Yesterday the stats helper plugin hosting was activated on wordpress.org: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpresscom-stats-helper/. From now on all updates will be available there.

On Caroline‘s suggestion I updated the Stats Helper Plugin so that you can display the number of blog visits since stats where enabled.

Enjoy!
