As of December 3rd, 2012, a WordPress.com blog stat page (https://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/) now shows unique visitors in addition to total views.

string directoryPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryPath); // NOP if it exists, will create all parent directories if not
}
A few helper methods get you a StreamWriter either empty/appended, or always empty Read the rest of this entry »
