Just thought I’d post this for the bloggers that are annoyed by the tiny tracking smiley in Wordpress 2.2.
If you have Wordpress 2.2, and the Stats plugin installed and active and enabled, viewers that are not logged in to your blog (wp-admin) will see a tiny smiley image somewhere on your page. It looks like this:
Wordpress inserts the smiley image (not text) by way of javascript code into your page for tracking purposes. The source of their code is found in the .php file of their stats plugin directory. Here is the code that was inserted in mine:
If you are like me and don’t like seeing it, insert the following code into your “style.css” file in your wordpress blog’s main directory:
img#wpstats{width:0px;height:0px;padding:0px;border:none;overflow:hidden}
