I heard back from Sean Tevis [1] about how he got his webstats [2]. Seems he uses a service called Site Meter [3] that allows one to track page loads. He added some JavaScript and images they gave him to his pages. I'm guessing that he does not have access to the log files from his hosting provider.
I have to remember that not everyone has access to such information. Heck, Spring [4] didn't until I started hosting her site.
Now, whether you can get meaningful statistics out of using Site Meter is another matter, and one that Sean brought up in his email. So there you go.
