Thanks for the question.
For a blog with a...Alan,<br /><br />Thanks for the question.<br /><br />For a blog with any history, you will have a few posts that are very old, that remain popular. This is normal.<br /><br />The time period "Last 7 days" selects the popularity sampling period - it does not select the time range for post publication. Do you see the difference?<br /><br />Look at the gadget, on my blog. You'll frequently find "<a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/06/adding-your-blogger-blog-to-your-non.html" rel="nofollow">Adding Your Blogger Blog To Your Web Site</a>" and "<a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2005/06/leave-comments-here.html" rel="nofollow">Leave Comments Here</a>", listed in the popularity set. Both are very old posts - and since they are old, they have a lot of reputation.<br /><br />A few people visit my blog, to find advice for combining blogs and websites - or possibly more people than look for advice on "<a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2015/07/jump-break-is-visible-only-in-index-page.html" rel="nofollow">Jump Break</a>", for instance.<br /><br />Your "Plymouth Brethren" post, published in 2013, may simply be a favourite post for people who read your blog. Since it has established popularity, it may well remain popular - at least, until you write another more topical new post that becomes popular.<br /><br /><a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/06/adding-your-blogger-blog-to-your-non.html" rel="nofollow">http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/06/adding-your-blogger-blog-to-your-non.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2005/06/leave-comments-here.html" rel="nofollow">http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2005/06/leave-comments-here.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2015/07/jump-break-is-visible-only-in-index-page.html" rel="nofollow">http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2015/07/jump-break-is-visible-only-in-index-page.html</a>Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-30641738497218484522015-07-31T09:59:56.687-07:002015-07-31T09:59:56.687-07:00"Last 7 days" isn't working for me. ..."Last 7 days" isn't working for me.

Wondering about Blogger problem resolution policies is as non productive, as anything that I can imagine.<br /><br />I'll just be thankful, if the problem is resolved.
