Collecting stats on hosted Subtext blog with Google analytics
Since this blog is hosted i don't have access to it's source code. That means that i can't play with the source, can't add counters,
can't have anykind of statistics etc... All i can do is post a formatted post or article and have galleries.
Subtext colleccts statistics by showing you numbers for aggregated views and web views and it also has a refferals page that you can see who clicked you.
And I really wanted to have some statistics. I've looked into Google analytics when it came out and I still think it's awsome.
So i wondered how to put it in my blog. Since there was no way to add javascript (you can add custom CSS's ) I let the thought go.
Until 2 days ago when I was doing some blog "management" and I saw the Static News / Announcement Edit box.
That's the box you put you "hello. i'm ... yadda yadda yadda" stuff. I already had <font> and <br> tags in there but it accured to me that maybe i could put google's javascript for tracking in there.
So I did.
And IT WORKS!!!
And I'm Happy.
And that's good.
As the old saying goes: What is good isn't bad :))
Now i can see from where you are, where you linked me from and everything else... have i mentioned i'm happy??
