Friends, a quick post to let you know that I’ve added Mint to the site. What’s Mint? It’s a self-hosted web site analytics program. I was interested obtaining more information about who is referrering readers to the site, popular pages, top searches, etc, but found the tools offered by my web host bluehost lacking. Here’s a list of the datapoints the Mint program is collecting for me here at www.iceflatline.com:
The data Mint collects is anonymous; the program does not collect personal data of any kind. My motivation in using Mint is purely technical – better metrics.
Anyway, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about Mint, or this site’s use of Mint, please leave a comment.
