Block addresses without having your own server so you don't inflate your hit count

Edit: At Avi's suggestion that this wasn't what I thought it was I looked at the settings and found that this feature is just so you don't inflate your daily hit count. Here's the official wording from their site:

"IP Blocking
You can specify your IP Address or a range such as 212.14.23.* or even 212.*.*.* to be blocked. This prevents you or someone from your organisation inflating your count. Put each IP address on a new line with no spaces if you want it blocked. Or empty the box if you want to count all visits."

Still useful, just not in the way I had hoped. I wasn't thinking clearly. It's been a day, as you know already. But, perhaps you find this feature useful so I'll leave it up.

StatCounter is kind enough to offer a blocking service on any blog or site they help you manage traffic. Here's the details via email:

Dear Poppy Cede,

-----------------------------------------------
Get your BLOCKs off....
-----------------------------------------------
Well no actually, get your blocks on....because we've added another new
feature to StatCounter!

Rather than just blocking individual IP addresses, you can now block a
whole range.

And yes - before you ask - you can block an IP address range across all
your projects now with just one click!

To use this feature simply login to your account.

- Click the 'wrench' icon beside one of your projects.
- Click 'edit settings'.
- Enter the ip addresses and ranges you would like to block.
- If you want to update all projects with this, click the box below it.

That's it!
