Analytics360 – Stats In Your Dash

Bish — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 11:31:43 +0000

MailChimp has very kindly released an excellent plugin that hooks into your Google Analytics account to display your website statistics in your Dashboard. Analytics360° also ties into your MailChimp account to track your newsletter / email effectiveness and mashes up this information in relation to blog post and newsletter frequency – brilliant!

n.b. You do not need a MailChimp account to make use of this (but its recommended!)

From a client point of view, I have made a decision to include this with all my future client installs of WordPress and have begun using this on EminentStyle.com.

From a technical standpoint, your hosting must support PHP5 for the plugin to work.

On May 1st I took part in the link)' );">CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) Reboot, completely redesigning the appearance of my personal tech blog. The link)' );">CSS Reboot takes place every year and is a day when designers across the world re-launch their sites focussing on link)' );">CSS, design, usability and accessibility.While I was happy with the result, the design was only probably 70% finished and still now with further improvements to the layout, I am still not satisfied. Over the last few days I have made improvements to the comments system and have polished up some of the rougher edges to a WordPress theme I am calling ‘Satin’. Take a look.

This I hope to be the first of many themes I produce for WordPress and I intend to make these freely available for download in the future. Satin will be available when I have made the theme a little more manageable.

Please contact me if you are interested in having a (we)blog for any number of reasons. I will be happy to consult on the best course of action from technical issues to designing a custom appearance for your blog. Whether designing a blog for business or personal use or to integrate into your existing site, blogging is a quick and easy way to communicate effectively with your audience.
