As promised here are the first steps for making sure that you website is ready for any future changes. We'll be including a ton of different things, like adding video, using social networking and more. We'll work on adding videos to make it as easy as possible for you.

The first step in doing anything right is we want to be able to track how well we're doing. After all if we don't track things then how will we know when we're doing better.

The best way I've found to track things (and we've used them all ) is by using Google Analytics. It is super easy to use and tracks all the things we'll want to track. After all if you think about it don't you think they would include everything they find valuable in ranking your site?

Here is a video that will lead you step by step thru the sign up process.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2785StVvas8

Next you'll want to make sure to add the code to all of your web pages. It's pretty simple to do that and they give good instructions on how to do that within the analytics site. The most important thing is that we want to make sure that the tracking is on all the pages.

Steps for this lesson.
1. Create a google analytics account.
2. Add the tracking code to all of the pages.

That's it - we'll talk next Weds and using analytics.

Tomorrow we'll be starting our series on getting your visitors more involved with your website. Every Weds. till we're finished we'll provide you information that will help.

If you use Google analytics then you'll enjoy this article.

Something funny I would like to share with you. My niece came home yesterday (she's a sophomore in high school), we were talking like we usually do everyday and she said that all the kids, teachers etc. were talking about the Hadron Collider. So much so in fact that she said that not many people got there work done. I saw a pretty funny article about it this morning and it appears that the world won't end today because they will only be testing sending things in one direction (so they won't be colliding anything for a bit). You can get a few more laughs by checking out this link.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday. Next week we'll be teaching bible school and getting prepared for some other things so posting may be a bit sparse. I also got an interesting call from some folks that we do travel with. We got a 3 night hotel stay and just have to watch a 'presentation', maybe I'll learn something and at 3 nights for $129.00 couldn't really let that one pass. I'll let you know how it goes.

Happy Thursday.
