I had just posted a new blog and looked at the number of views it had. I had to edit it a number of times. Then I noticed the number of views had increased, It seemed in proportion to the number of edits. I experimented by doing a refresh of the browser and the views increased by one every time. It is be possible to not allow your own views to be added to the total of views. I have been a website designer and know there is code available to prevent this, so your boffins should be able to sort it
