Was messing around with [shields.io](http://shields.io) this morning, and it’s really easy to create badges for your blog with our [API](https://developers.write.as/docs/api/#retrieve-a-collection).

In both of the examples, just replace `api%2Fcollections%2Fblog` with `api%2Fcollections%2Fyourblogname` to get your stats.
