My latest creation, another plugin for WordPress Google Analytics, is a very power web tracking service. It’ll tell you everything you could possibly want to know with what’s going on with your web site. Ridiculous stuff like how many times people in the state of Alabama have viewed this blog in the last week. That’s zero times fyi. Anyways, I’ve mentioned Google Analytics before, so click over if you’re curious.

A drawback I find with Google Analytics is that there are so many different reports you can get, and it’s not always immediately clear exactly how you can get to the report you want. Eventually, I found myself pulling up the same reports over and over, so I thought to myself… “self, wouldn’t it be great if I could just view all these reports on one screen?” So I kinda did just that, over the course of a few evenings. I had to do a few semi-tricky things with Google sessions and whatnot, but the end result is a somewhat generic Google Analytics library which pulls down reporting data. I then wrapped all this into a WordPress plugin. While doing the plugin wrapping process, I found that it was also pretty easy to pull down and incorporate reports from other services such as Feedburner. So this plugin displays reports pulled down from Google Analytics and Feedburner, and will possibly do some more in the future.

So there it is, now you can view Google Analytics and Feedburner reports right inside your WordPress admin area

PS: And if you’re a blogger and are not using WordPress (and have some PHP know-how), then you could still download the plugin and rework the Google Analytics library portion into a plugin for your own blogging system. Don’t ask me for help tho, you’re on your own for that
