Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - Google

I wanted to highlight 2 Google Programs. We already know how amazing Google is (sorry Jan and Microsoft) - but it is! They are both FREE!!

1 - Google Reader: If you find yourself repeatedly visiting a blog to check for updates, or if you just stumble across a blog you want to keep track of, you can easily subscribe to it in Google Reader using the subscribe bookmark.

I login to this every day and keep it open - it alerts me when anyone's blog has a new post. You can find it at google.com/reader

2 - Google Analytics: This is a great tool that will give you data about your website or blog. All you do it put html code on your blog and it will track: how many visitors came to your site, what site they were referred from (where they found your blog), how long they stayed, and lots of other data that is interesting :) You can sign up for it at google.com/analytics

Good Luck and Happy Blogging Everyone! If anyone has any questions or needs help, let me know!

What a great Mother's Day you had! Loved your recap.

And yes, I do hate Crocs on big feet, but they sort of look cute on tiny feet (since they look like stubby clogs). Lydia is driving me insane with how much she hates flip flops - so her fake Crocs are a good alternative since she loves to tromp around in them and she is constantly outside.
