stat tools

TIANo, I’m not talking about boring jerks who corner you in bars and flash their Technorati rankings; I’m talking about useful programs or sites to help you take your raw hit data and extract the meaning that’s lurking deep within. Stat charts are like lab charts; they can tell you a lot about the health of your relationship to your readers.

A salute to the highly organized Pete Quily for being efficient enough to write these down and post them to the Wiki while I was busy yapping.

stats: the forbidden love

This is the so-called lecture, in actuality dialogue, that I gave at Moosecamp, which is the first, more free-form day, of the Northern Voice Blogging Conference. It was my intention to get people talking about the simple right to care about hits, but it turned out that this was taken as a given and we went off on all kinds of tangents. I’m a big tangent person, so I love this. Here’s the whole podcast, thanks to Podcastspot.com; I shall never again question the relevance of podcasts.

I’ll snippet the bits of wisdom and the URL’s later.

ask a ninja: ninja poetry

You wouldn’t want to go up against a ninja at a poetry slam. But I had no idea the beret looked so fetching with the balaclava…it’s very Left Bank Che. Video over the jump:

A Junky’s Christmas podcast

I’m trying this again, just because I’m that damn stubborn. Totally worth it if you get it working, though.

[odeo=http://studio.odeo.com/audio/4609413]

Yay, I got it working! Good thing, because YouTube has been sketchier than a wild junky on the lookout for a hit lately.

Hurray! Happy feelings! Happy! Happy! Happy!

Show me the luv at the Bloggie Awards, people!
