Need to be able to see number of views in WordPress Reader

I did not download WordPress, but use the Online hosting of wordpress. I know you can change the settings to force someone to visit your blog to see the whole post, but I know not as many people would read a post if forced to visit a site.

There needs to be a way to record how many people are reading in WordPress Reader without visiting the site. I am able to see if someone likes a post in the Reader, so there must me a way to record the view.

Being a ‘Small Fish’ Blogger can be discouraging, but it is even more discouraging if they think no one is reading a post because it is being read in only the Reader. (They do not often know of the ability to switch to preview only in the reader.)

I think the Happiness Engineers at WordPress should put some thought into this. As they want to keep the small fish bloggers motivated. Unmotivated Bloggers just give up.

It can be hard to stay motivated through the beginning stages of Blogging. Happiness Engineers need to think of ways to keep the small fish just as much as the big fish. For motivated small fish make it through the tough patches to become big fish.
