 * I updated to version 1.7.1 of this plugin this morning – up until now the plugin
   was working fine, but as of the update I get the following message:
 * WordPress.com Stats is unable to work properly because your theme seems to lack
   the necessary footer code. Usually this can be fixed by adding the following 
   code just before </body> in footer.php:
 * <?php wp_footer(); ?>
 * Any ideas?

 * That seems to be a known problem with this update. Try refreshing the page, clearing
   your browser cache, and deactivate then reactivate any cache plugins. The error
   should eventually go away.
