Sometimes I feel like somebody's watching me (Thing 1)

Or at least watching my IP.

Already a blogger, I took NEFLIN’s challenge of adding features to my blog. The first has been to add Google Analytics, which I highly recommend. Google Analytics offers a free service to track number of visits to your site, which posts visitors looked at, and how long they stayed on your page. I put the link to Google Analytics on the right over there under “Sometimes I Help” so that you can get started with this tool too.

I also have another suggestion to anyone who might be new to blogging: don’t write your post in your blog’s edit window! I write all my posts in my word processing software of choice so that I can edit and spell check easily. I find those tiny little post windows of Blogger and Wordpress cramped and annoying. I want to see my text run free on the screen in Microsoft Word! Additionally, I name my blog file and do a “Save As” right away and click the save icon several times as I write. This way, I know I’ve got back-up should I magically find the perfect button combo that deletes all.

Can’t wait to network and learn more about my fellow Web 2.0’ers!
