Day 49

So...here's something completely nerdy...

I figured out a way to track page views...
and It also lets me know where people are when they log in to read my musings...

so...the coolest thing...is seeing that this little stupid blog has been viewed from 7 different countries....
obviously...the US is winning the race...
with Spain and Argentina in second...with 2 views each...
but...someone in South Africa spent 3:08 on the site...

Sure...I mean...they never came back...but...they were here....

and to pile nerdy on top of nerdy...I went through my parent's attic and started compiling some stuff to list on ebay...this is a He-Man lot...

So does that mean you are stalking us?…..us--- the voyeurs you invited to read your musings about your new life in LA? Well, I declare!....the nerve of some bloggers.

Encarta Dictionary: Definition #2 of voyeur=
Persistent observer of misery or scandal; a fascinated observer of distressing, sordid, or scandalous events....

So....
How do you do track the blog viewers?.....

www.google-analytics.com

I found a string of code that you enter into your homepage template...

It's really all very nerdy...but so dang cool...
It tracks visitors per day...where they came from...how much time they spent...

It's all very general...but still cool...

At least I can tell when people are reading...which is a bit of a motivator to at least keep posting...
