- Matt from Chewing Pencils has a great post for those aspiring to be Pro Cartoonists’ that I think is completely relevant for those of us who are (or who are trying to become) ProBloggers. It’s titled The Most Important Tip of All (warning – does contain ‘nudity’ – but is safe for work) and is a great reminder of the importance of finding balance between family and freelance life.

Thanks for the links. I use Google Analytics from some time and it is great.
The logo tweak is also cool.

Darren, care to tell us why you removed your sites from Google Analytics and what you use instead?
Patrick – I found it was slowing down my site (along with too many other javascripts).
I also found it such a comprehensive program that I didn’t end up using it at all (it was quite slow running and just didn’t fit in my daily rhythm of looking at my stats).
I now use sitemeter for quick daily stats, performancing’s metrics for more comprehensive reviewing and 103bees for analysis of search engine performance. Between them I tend to get everything I need.
To be honest I don’t look at my stats anywhere near as much these days.
That logo looks pretty good. I think its the gg’s that make it work.
