You can place these functions in your template.<br/>
Place functions within post-loop (e.g. in single.php)<br/>

* $before = text before number e.g. '&lt;p&gt;' (standard "")
* $after = text after number e.g. 'reads&lt;/p&gt;' (standard " reads")
* $show = true/false, "echo" complete string or "return" number only (standard true)

**GeoIP addon**

* With the GeoIP addon you can associate your visitors to an country using the ip adress.
* Download the addon on <a href="http://www.tomsdimension.de/wp-plugins/count-per-day">plugin page</a> and unzip into count-per-day directory. Directory 'geoip' will be create. 
* In the database a new column 'country' will be insert.
* On options page you can update you current visits. This take a while!
  The Script checks 100 IP adresses at once an reload itself until less then 100 adresses left.
  Click the update button to check the rest.
* Click the button once at least to create the column in datebase! You can abort the update process.
* If the rest remains greater than 0 the IP adress is not in GeoIP database (accuracy 99.5%).
* You can update the GeoIP database from time to time to get new IP data.
  This necessitates write rights to geoip directory (e.g. chmod 777).
* If the automaticaly update don't work download <a href="http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz">GeoIP.dat.gz</a> and extract it to the "geoip" directory.
