Track your Wordpress blog with YWA
Mar 14th
Would you like having advanced real-time tracking of your Wordpress blog? With the Yahoo! Web Analytics Wordpress Plugin made by Rudi Shumpert you will get exactly that without having to know any coding. All you need is an Yahoo! Web Analytics account and a blog running on the Wordpress engine.
It only takes about 3 minutes to install and setup the plugin, and it does’nt require any coding skills at all. You get full overview over your visitors and whats going on on your blog, you even get to see if the users are logged in or not, and everything is real-time. However you will need to go thru a YWA consultant (such as Astrups.com that I work for) to get an Yahoo! Web Analytics account.
Wordpress for iphone
Mar 14th
Yesterday when I was setting up this blog i discovered that there was an wordpress app for iPhone. So today I wanted to test to see if this was something i wanted to use.
I started with some connection problems when setting up the app, not sure why since everything seemed to be ok. After a couple of tryouts I got it to work, and I love it! It’s easy to use, let’s me keep an eye on my blog and incoming comments. And the most important, I can publish something immediatly.
The Wordpress for iPhone app is also free, and I would actually been willing to pay for it.
For more information, visit Wordpress for iPhone.
Tracking Flash ActionScript3 with YWA
Mar 13th
At Astrups.com we use Yahoo! Web Analytics as our main tracking tool, and lately we have come across some problems using the trackingcode given in the YWA documentation for tracking inside flash objects. The problem was that the code in the documentation was designed for ActionScript2. Thanks to Fred @ Eyego we got to solve this issue using this codes:
At the top of the ActionScript you need to put this code(In a as class it have to be inside the classdefinition, if it is a timeline script it will need to be on the top of every script that uses the tracking, it is not enough to just put it on the root):
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
If the page is using the YWA v5 tracking codes you may now add this code inside the ActionScript to track elements:
ExternalInterface.call("YWATracker.page(\"PageTitle\",\"DocumentGroup\",\"Member ID\",\"Action\",\"Amount\")");
Or if the page still is using the YWA v4 code you will need to use this code:
ExternalInterface.call("__IT.page(\"PageTitle\",\"DocumentGroup\",\"Member ID\",\"Action\",\"Amount\")");
