thanks for the tips .
Two small observations :
1. recent posts has a wp function wp_get_recent_posts();
$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts();

2. your comment count will also show revisions (not published) posts if blog has less than 10 commented posts .

Views count will add lots of cpu usage the more post you have, but yeah it’s possible.

Oh and for anyone else reading this…just an FYI, I do believe ‘showposts’ has been deprecated in favor of ‘posts_per_page’

Great tips, thank you. View counts can be done with only code! I’m using Justin Tadlock’s entry-views extension in my theme without a plugin
