== Description ==

A simple plugin to count and display the number of visitors on your blog posts (i.e. a read count).
It distinguishes between robots, registered human, and non registered humans.
The data is stored in a database table by the name of 'hitcounter'.

== Installation ==

Upload the hitcounter plugin to your blog, activate it, win.

Place `<?php userViews(); ?>` in your template files to output the number of views by humans.
The default output will be <span class="views">Views: 100</span>

If you want to override the output use `<?php userViews('Wow, ',' people read this.'); ?>`
Which would output: Wow, 100 people read this.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

If installing on WPMU activate the plugin on a per blog basis rather than the activate sitewide. 
At this stage I'm not sure how to make it MU compatible.
