you can hide, but you can't run

It's my second month anniversary here at Blogspot today. Thirty-five posts, four comments, about a hundred visitors I think (who knows, since they turned off the stats?) and about as many profile views. I hesitate to say it, but posting here is starting to feel like putting a message in a bottle. In an odd way I feel like I got more reception and feedback from my handwritten journal which I at least knew no one was reading. Was that Blogger.com homepage shutdown on the 10th the next step to restoring stats? I notice the Known Issues in Help and the Buzz no longer mentions the problem.

I never knew stats were available direct from Blogger (I only just set up my blog about a month ago), but I went over to sitemeter.com and got my blog connected to that. In addition to counting visitors, it also tells me things like what time zones they're in and what website they linked from. (If I were to pay extra -- that is, more than nothing -- I could get all sorts of interesting data.)
