Whats new?

For the past month, I had visited blog of lots of people. Many of them had statistics on how many people have visited them over the past, how much time they spent on the site and usual mathematics. Statistics and numbers have somehow always fascinated me, as I believe that they represent a sign of progress. For ex. The amount of pay hike I get during a year is an indicator of my performance. The willingness to add the site meter to my blogsite had been at the back of my mind for quite some time. I decided to implement it. Following are the steps to do it:

a) Go to Sitemeter
b) Follow the instructions given on the site. They are more or less complete in information. You need to have the blogsite to add to the sitemeter.
c) The "Your Current Time" on one the sign up pages was disappointing, as it is at a granularity of 1 hour. My statisitics would now be shifted by half an hour, not that it makes a huge difference, but it was a thing which you will note very easily.
d) After having done all the usual stuff, you need to confirm that the information you have entered is correct.
e) After having accepted that "Jo kuch bhi likhunga, sab sach likhunga aur sach ke siva kuch nahin likhunga", it is time to add the Site Meter to your website.
f) Select "Add html for your counter to your web pages" in one of the followup pages after you have signed up. This will help you to add the SiteMeter to your blog site and you are through.
