Addition of visitor statistics to GandiBlog
By Ryan on Friday 24 November 2006, 08:52 - GandiBlog - Permalink
To view your blog's stats, click on the "Statistics" link that now appears in the left-hand column in your blog's administration interface. You will then see a page that displays your statistics for the current month (stats for previous months will be saved, and all stats begin on November 2006), along with the usual information (visitors per day, breakdown of visitors, browser information, etc.).
Something somewhat unique: you may see what keywords were used in Google to find your blog, as well as the most recent links to your blog's address.
Statistics are updated each day before midnight via the application, Visitors.
Statistics may vary somewhat from the results you get from other tools you may have added. This is to be expected, though please contact us if you see a difference that seems abnormally wide.
More good news: we will soon be giving you easy access to your blogs' raw logs so that you can use your favorite log analyzer 
PS. Please remember that we are still in the Beta version of GandiBlog...at least for a couple more days

The traffic statistics are quite surprising - very different from what SiteMeter and StatCounter tell me. I don't know which to believe, but thanks for implementing this.
Thanks for a very nice blog. Some issues: the default Blue Silence is indeed our favorite, but it does not show correctly in 800x600 browsers: many of the themes don't! It is just a few px too wide, when you look at the CSS, you can see 820px for example. Why? Things should be made to work fine on 800x600 without horizontal scroll bar, as there is no reason not to. Yes, the 'roll your own' Custom Theme is there, but pasting in the modified CSS from Blue Silence isn't enough, as the background images are then no longer there. Is there any easy way to fix this? Thanks for any advice and again for your nice service.
It is always interesting to use two different stat scripts.
A note to all, however! Some third-party javascripts may include pop-up commands for adds so that when people visit your blog they launch a pop-up (indeed, this is the main purpose of such scripts!). If you see annoying pop-ups when you visit your blog, and if you use third-party javascript code for generating stats, you might want to have a look at the code to see what may really be lurking in there...
