If you want statistical information about your blog, for a period earlier than WordPress provide under “Blog Stats” all you need to do is add “&enddate=07-06-01” [year, month, day] (without quotation marks) to the URL. This only works on the “Top Posts” page.

Although WordPress.com offers statistics to bloggers on their “Blog Stats” page, mostly you are only offered information for the past week. The one aberration is the “Top Posts” page that shows stats for the previous 30 days.
