    Brill... intrigued tho', have you added the Google analytics code into each blog entry to achieve this?

    All I did was sign up, can't remember if there was a code I had to embed on the blog or not. It was reasonably simple, but I was geniunely surprised at the level of detail that GA gives you. They've probably got my DNA on it too.

    Btw I think the top 10 is already out of date, thanks to Maggi Dawn linking the Advent top 10 (previous post) it's displaced the 'Future of the Church of England'.

    You embed a snippet of Javascript.

    Hi Dave, glad to have been of service and thanks for the tip about Google analystics. I haven't really got in to that side of things, is there a useful guide you could suggest?

    You add the Google Analytics code onto one of the page elements that remain always visible, or the formatting or title. For example, the Beaker Folk code is hidden within the "Disclaimer" gadget on the RHS.

    Your link to +Alan is broken, by the way.

    Phil - just look for it in Google, follow the instructions and see what you think. I've used Bravenet up to now (the main counter down the right hand sidebar) which gives a certain amount of info, but GA is incredibly detailed.

    I note in passing that, if the Google Analytics tab is open, it misses off the last 5 letters. Hmmm.

    Archdruid - thanks, I'll fix Bp Alan later. As it were.
