Also in this post: Ajaxinfo (the guys behind AJAX usability metrics), AJAX ROI faceoff, where a traditional webapp is compared to an AJAX webapp. For the visually oriented, there is a video comparing the two applications.

WordPress Dashboard improvements: Five things I’d like my blog software to do

Thursday, January 12th, 2006 by Jesper Rønn-Jensen

I like Wordpress Dashboard. The name suggests that it’s an overview of whats relevant to your blog. What’s happening. What’s popular. Who comments. What important updates are available.

Just added Google Analytics as tracker tool

Monday, November 14th, 2005 by Jesper Rønn-Jensen

We just signed up for testing the new Google Analytics statistics software. It gives us an idea of who is browsing our website. On the humorous side, the signup process is missing something. It seems that the license agreement is not found. Hilarious. Of course I accepted (but I’m still wondering what that means). We’re […]
