It's been one month since I started blogging. At some point along the way I started using Google Analytics to keep track of my site stats (shown here...click to enlarge). I highly recommend this service if you're at all interested in receiving more detailed info about the traffic generated by your site. Best of all it's FREE! And installation is as easy as 'cut & paste'!
I'm a huge fan of Common Craft. Oddly enough I stumbled upon CC due to a HILARIOUS post which outlines driving etiquette in Beijing. BTW, this is a must-read for anyone who has ever traveled to or plans to travel to mainland China.
Anyway, back to the point of this posting. CC, yet again, does an amazing job outlining the bennies of using RSS. In short, if you read multiple blogs and find it time consuming having to pull up each and every site that you enjoy reading then RSS can help simplfy your life. I, for example, currently subscribe to some 50'ish blogs which I've broken down in to 4 categories (Green, Art/Design, Tech, Peeps). By using Google Reader I can now monitor all of my blogs/news feed updates in one place from any computer.
