Another question from Ms. Tech-Challenged

Could my readers kindly lend me a hand, in honor of my fourth "blogoversary," and explain how to use Sitemeter statistics to find out how many people have read/are reading a particular post? I'm just curious to know whether a lack of comments indicates (a) that there are lurkers on my blog or (b) that I'm talking to myself. :)

Also, what about those old links that seem to have been gobbled up in Blogger's takeover by Google?
