Wordpress + Google Analytics

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Since I’m more into blogging now, it means I’m also into Wordpress; especially exploring it from the technical side. So don’t be surprised by more blogging about Wordpress. And with a more constant online presence, it allows me to explore and use a few technologies I haven’t had much exposure to yet, AdSense, Google Analytics, SEO, etc.. So, signed up for all my accounts and now time to integrate… hmm how to put the Analytics code onto every page of my blog? … Probably have to edit something… maybe a plugin exists? After a bit of searching, found the perfect, simple how-to on Trent Mueller’s blog … simple editing of footer.php..

Automator

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

More fun stuff, played with Automator recently because I wanted to find a quick way to set image tags for multiple images. You can do it manually in Preview.app, but wanted a drag and drop solution. I guess I got inspired after watching a recent ScreenCastsOnline podcast (http://screencastonline.com/); as a demo, they showed building a workflow for scaling images by 50%. After a bit of searching, I found an Write IPCT Tags action on automator.us (http://automator.us/leopard/downloads/index.html)

With that action, can create static workflow, or can prompt for all the tags to set.

Locationbar² :: Firefox Add-ons

Nice little utility which shows the url in the location bar with spaces and colors to emphasize the domainname and decodes the urls for better readability.  Plus mouse-over allows you to select different portions of the URL for moving “up” the page hiearchy.
