Gotta say I’m terribly disappointed with the way Google Analytics and the POWr hit counter is explained throughout the how to load, instructional videos. I mean total bullshot. If you get turned around and misstep you’re screwed. Tried watching the video tutorials and it’s like watching a music concert from the rafters – the perspectives are worthless and the acoustics suck. I killed several hours trying to install this crap. I have no idea if it works or not. With blood sugars running low, it’s a wonder this laptop is still in one piece. If the mic’s had been turned on at work, the FCC’s cuss jar would be overflowing and Dick Cheney’s infamous, on-air remarks would be considered Sunday School.
Was able to create a links gallery to use for the portfolio page, but got side tracked by the Analytics stuff and haven’t finished that. The one good thing, is that the night photo for the landing page was taken and uploaded.
Oh, btw, all of the logos needed to be sent to photoshop to be custom sized to fit the theme’s image templates. It wasn’t hard, just time consuming. Next step is to re-figure out how to add hyperlinks to them.
So for class, we will need to spend time on analytics and hit counter, then plan how to add links to the logos. I believe the analytics and hit counter are important to the site because of the information they can provide. How many visitors and what they like.
I followed the WP beginner Facebook page’s recommended GA installation plug-in’s, but feel that other companies plug-ins may be better because of user ratings.
It has been a frustrating week, but the only frustrating week throughout the entire project. It’s 3:33 in the morning and I’m tired. See you in a few hours.
