    Hi,

    Whenever I install the WordPress.com Stats on my site (www.johnlatourart.com) a mysterious code appears at the bottom of each page (looks almost like a happy face). Any suggestions how to remedy the situation? I’ve left the Plugin activated for your convenience.

    Thanks.

    JL

    In order to tell you all the cool stats about how many visitors you’ve had, which of your posts are most popular, and how people get to your site, the plugin needs a way to track things.

    It’s able to collect this information by loading a small image to your page when someone looks at it, and the developers chose to use a small smiley 🙂

    You can hide it without preventing its function by using display:none.

    Go to Appearance -> Editor in your Dashboard and add this code in your Stylesheet:

    img#wpstats{display:none}

    Hi James,

    Thanks for your quick reply. As you may have guessed, I’m a bit of a newbie to WordPress. I understood 99% of your answer, but not sure where exactly to put the code in the Stylesheet (style.css). I’ve tried inserting it in a few places with no luck. Any more info would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers.

    John
