I’ve just updated my Google Analytics WordPress plugin to version 2.2, it “forces” you to switch to the new tracking code. Image tracking and AdSense tracking should still work. It requires the code to be in the head, as outbound link tracking will still not work correctly otherwise. Before you install it, delete the old…
Image search keyword tracking with the new Google Analytics
While rewriting my Google Analytics for WordPress plugin, I found out that in the new Google Analytics tracking with ga.js, tracking the keyword people used in image search is a lot easier than it was in the old version, as changing the referrer info doesn’t involve rewriting an entire function anymore. You can simply change…
Blog Metrics 0.3: who’s the best linkbaiter?
With version 0.3 of the Blog Metrics plugin, I’m introducing quite a bit of new stuff: it calculates how many trackbacks you received on average per post, and does a better job of calculating comments.

Iwan Uswak from the Data Mining Blog requested that I added Aaron’s AdSense Google Analytics tracking to my Google Analytics for WordPress plugin. I emailed Aaron to ask if he had any objections to me doing that, and as expected his answer was “of course not.”. So I’ve just updated my plugin to version 2.0,…
Blogging from my phone!
I downloaded and installed Wphone yesterday, and am now trying it while I’m in the train home. I can say nothing but: wow! It’s amazingly simple, you specify that you want to use the mobile interface on login and it just plain works! Although this plugin was the result of an iPhone interface competition, it…
Nofollow outbound links on your homepage and category pages
As you might have seen, I have now nofollowed all outbound links on my homepage and category pages. On the single pages for posts, these links are not nofollowed, unless I nofollowed them on purpose.
