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??
