For a blog, you may want to include a region script for an article in multiple places: the main page, the category page, and the article's permalink page.
-The actions ''011'' enable voting but do not record a unique visit when the page is displayed. This allows you to display metrics in a summary listing page without recording the viewing of those metrics as an actual visit.

This allows you to display metrics in a summary listing page without recording the viewing of those metrics as an actual visit. The actual page would contain the actions ''111'' in order to both record the visit and allow voting.
 The metrics ''110,10110'' (looking at the first two groups) will display all visitor and vote metrics except the average vote and metrics for the current visitor. The date/time metrics ''1100'' (the last group) will display the date of the first and most recent visits but excluding those for the current visitor.
