Akismet, which my eyes want to read as Askimet, has just been installed on my blog. Hope this keeps spam away. Will be working to add Google Analytics next.
I also really like statcounter.com’s UI, but they have some security issues (use of SSL for login, sensitive data, etc) and also I am finding that their javascript code is sort of obtrusive, and that it interferes with jQuery’s document.ready method, causing a delay after the page is actually loaded and before jQuery executes.
