It's got to be something very simple, but it's going to be a pain to find. You have to start from square one, go through the instructions again, retracing each and every step, one by one. That's what I would do in this case.

I used the template version. Created a template called home_microstats. It's in the default style because I don't have more than one. This template has the following in it:

<center>Page generated in $trimmedtime seconds ($percentphp - $percentsql) with $query_count queries.
$adminstats </center>

Then place a variable

{getmicrostats}

in your footer template. This is what the end of my footer template looks like, with the variable call near the end

<!-- End -->

hope this helps.
