Fitbit to count steps

Hi, I have just started using Fitbit Zip and have linked it to my diary. I can't see where it is showing my steps in the fitness diary just calories burned. Is that all it will do?
I have the steps on my tracker but would like it to log steps every day to save having to write them dawn at the end of the day.
I have joint problems so this is the main thing I will be doing for daily exercise, any tips would be welcome, thanks x

    MFP won't tell you the number of steps you did for the day, just the calories burned, but if you want to log it, just add them in under the notes section of the exercise tab.

    Have you looked at the home page of your app? I don't think the website displays step counts.

    On the website if you go to the progress area, the drop down list should include steps from Fitbit.

    Edit: Sorry it's under Check In
    For me it's the first thing on my list of Other Measurements

    On the web version, navigate to REPORTS and in the drop down, choose Fitbit Steps. Once the chart displays, hover the cursor over the chart line to display individual date information.

    On the web version, you can also navigate to Check-in, then at the bottom click "Edit Previous Entries," then in the dropdown choose Fitbit steps and click "Change." This will show a tabular list of data. WARNING: Do not delete previous days entries though, unless you have them saved somewhere else and can recreate them.

    On the mobile apps, the Steps should be displayed on the Dashboard.
