 * A plugin such as [WP-Postviews](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postviews/)
   provides this capability. According to the [WP-Postviews documentation](http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-postviews.html)
   you would use the this code in your [loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop):
 *     ```
       <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?>
       ```
