 * it was driving me nuts trying to figure out why it was there.
    I remember having
   a copy protection plugin that did the same thing, and so I frantically tried 
   deleting various plugins, thinking it was one of them, not suspecting it was 
   the stat counter.
 * Ugh. I spent years learning programming, only to realize that I had no use for
   my skills, and started wanting to revise every single program, finding flaws,
   and things I would have done different, but never once did I want to put a mark
   in the code, anywhere!

 * Give this a read, it may help you with the CSS to hide that.

 * It’s a one line fix and is really easy to do.

 * hi, I already deactivated and deleted the plugin.
 * I was trying something different, since I had been using Visitor Maps and Whos
   online for a long time now, however, it has an issue with placing a bit of status
   text right in the middle of the wordpress admin footer, but thats another plugin,,
 * thanks anyway.
