Does the stat plugin work differently from the .com plugin?

I recently moved a blog from wordpress.com to a self-hosted site at http://www.forthefirstime.ca. When it was at wordpress, the URL was the same as I had pointed the domain there.

Since moving it, the stats are showing much less activity than over the past several months, and I was wondering if the .org stats plugin counts acitivity differently that the .com stats.

Does the fact that I’ve built a website around the blog make any difference?

I have just changed it so that the post appears as the landing page instead of the “Welcome To…” static page. Would that make a difference?
