Hi Tom,

There is currently no view count supported for the Blog module.  I've added Google Analytics to my site which gives me an idea of the kind of traffic I have on my site.  You can drill down to particular pages using GA to see what the traffic is on a specific post.  You may also want to make use of a tool like Feedburner to keep track of the number of people who have subscribed to your feed.  If you go this route, you'll need to add a module to the pages which show your blog that show a custom RSS image which points to your Feedburner feed. 

HTH,

Don
