Comment:

 I used a different PC configured with Firefox/TOR to view my Wordpress
 blog and establish whether they count TOR users not as unique users
 anymore.
 I then logged on to the blog using my own PC to monitor the internal hit
 counter and noticed that it had counted each and every hit made by the
 second PC.
 Clearly, TOR offers zero anonymity when I use my own PC because Wordpress
 recognizes the dvice.
