Tracking Your Readers
Attention MAJers:
Some of you have been wondering if it's possible to track visitors to your blogs. You'll be delighted to hear that it's wonderfully simple. Scroll down the side menu on this site, past the cute little bear, don't dawdle on the link to your own blog, there, right at the bottom, is a little black globe. That is a tracker. And so, because I love you all (as well as being on a serious work-dodging streak) here is my simple Guide to Taking Revenge on People Who Think They Can Just Visit Your Site and not be Used to Fuel Your Titanic Ego:
Step 1: go to the Extreme Tracking site.
Step 2: click on Get Your Free Tracker.
Step 3: Fill in the name of your site (anything you like), URL (exactly as it appears), your timezone (whatever feels right) and then think of a login and password (you'll need this to make any changes in the future).
Step 4: Click on Get Your Tracker Code. You should see a couple of html code lines. Copy it.
Step 5: Go to Blogger and open the settings for your blog. Go to your site template. Scroll down to the bottom and paste the code in. I put mine right at the end before the line, but it might depend on your the template you're using.
Step 6: Save the changes, Republish your blog and have a look.
Happy stalking.
