Wow! This blog must really be important to me because I’m spending my spare time working on this instead of going to see the 6th installment of the Harry Potter series Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Well, yesterday’s work was a little anticlimatic after the big build-up of finally getting the blog up and running the night before. We seemed to get so much done that night. We didn’t get nearly as much accomplished yesterday, although we did spend a lot of time on it.
I tweaked the original post and the About Staingirlz.com page again. And Again. AND AGAIN! This part is definitely time-consuming! I recorded what we did yesterday for future blog topics. I established a site analytics account.
Later last night we figured out how to insert the Google Analytics html code which we knew intuitively meant that we had to edit our post in html view and insert the basic html tags, but it didn’t work the first time for some reason. We tried it again on a test post and it worked! So then we went back to the existing post and tried again and this time it worked. We’re not sure what we did differently this time but we can only expect that this phenomenon will repeat itself quite regularly as things go with software, according to Kaye.
But, we are still at a loss to understand certain things about Google Analytics, like what are Page Views? We had over 400 yesterday. And do we put this html in all of our posts, even though there could be multiple posts on one page? Feel free to enlighten us.
Please bear with us while we get better organized. There is much more to come. And since Elle will be busy tomorrow, I will finally get to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Have a great day!
