OK, so a tech at Bluehost said that the "last 300 visitors" statement
seems to be incorrect and all that is showing are visitors in the last hour or so.
My question: can anyone recommend software or another site that offers
the ability to check recent visitors (more than just the last hour ;) ) to your site?

thanks,

Rod

I believe you can accomplish this via Google Analytics.

Thanks for this. I'd heard about GA,
but thought it'd be too "business-like" for my needs,
but it's actually easier to start-up than I expected and
it's a free service, so I'm giving it a try.
I'll see how it goes...

thanks again,

Just remember that GA ignores all of your visitors who don't have JavaScript or who have told GA to ignore them.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just noticed about an hour ago that
Bluehost has these things called "Awstats" and "Webalizer,"
so I've signed up. I have to wait at least 24 hours to see something I suppose,
so I'll see if that works. Those may become the real stat mechanisms for me.

best,
