I just installed and configured the Google Analytics plugin for my blog here at randompsychology.com. For the uninitiated, Analytics gives me a ton of information about users that stop by the site. Stuff like how long they stay, what country they’re from, how they arrived to the site (e.g. did they just type the URL into the browser or did they click a link from another website?), how long visits typically last, and which browser and operating system they’re using (yes, the Firefox/Internet Explorer browser wars are as hot as ever!). But don’t worry–none of this information can be traced back to you! It can’t be used to find out the names of your pets, deceased grandparents, ex-boyfriends or girlfriends, or anything else like that. You’re still totally anonymous (unless of course you create an account so you’ll be able to post comments and contribute to the site in various ways.

Okay…slow day in the news-room. Hope you weren’t too bored by today’s ramblings. You should probably be out celebrating Memorial Day anyway. Please remember our troops and keep them in your prayers! They’re giving their lives for you every day.
