I love watching analytics, especially mine :)
I use a few different solutions for my web stats, one of them being Mint. It is a pretty good compliment to Google Analytics if you like more real time stats.
Like most of you, analytics are an important part of how I manage my websites. Today was no less important. Today was actually quite entertaining, and it will probably get better here soon.

Well this post isn’t a crafty HOW-TO on finding the next best brand on the web. I was going through my domain portfolio this last week and found a few names I am looking to part with.

You’ve seen a slow, non-productive blogging effort here at Armeda over the last couple of months, and I would like to offer my apologies for that. Well here is the reason for the lack of effort and productivity. With my long time friend and fellow WordPress geek Jonathan Dingman, we just finalized and brought to life Wordpress Vibe (WPVibe).
