First 2 installations of Google Analytics this weekend!

Hi everybody,
Today we met with Al Rudisill at his house to install Google Analytics (GA). Al is both Webmaster and President of the Ypsilanti Historical Society, so he gets to make the decision about whether to use GA or not. After a quick tour of a sample site, Rohit began the installation, and Al finished on his own. By tomorrow around 3pm he should start seeing some data. I think we were there 1.5 hours, though most of that was chatting. The installation itself took less than 5 minutes.

(Any comments Al?)

Tomorrow we will work with Marcia Mcrary and Sharon Brevoort.

It's wonderful to see how quickly things are moving. Thanks to all for your help.

GMail Account Info

All participants will need a gmail account. We will assign the names, so we can keep track of everyone. You can choose the password.
These email addresses are to be shared only with other members of the pilot group (and us!).
You can also show other members of your organization your reports--and its your choice whether or not you want to give them your password.
So far we have Al Rudisil of the Ypsilanti Historical society as: wchc0001@gmail.com
Marcia McCrary and Sharon Brevoort of GSWC as wchch0002@gmail.com

I'd like to encourage you all to use this blog to communicate about the analytics (vs the above email), only because that way everyone will be sharing.

My tip for you all today is to play with the map on the dashboard. Keep clicking it until you get down to the city level in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area. Try clicking other states, or countries where you see traffic, just for fun.
