So now I have something to say too!

About 2 years ago, after a rather interesting project for a client, I wondered to myself why I didn’t have a blog to write about my experiences. I kept tossing the idea around in my head and went through the whole range of questions - what am I going to write about? does any one care about what I have to say? do i have something to say?

Well, here we are ! Web Analytics is a rather interesting field. I learn something new everyday and enjoy the process of working with various clients to nail some of the pesky questions almost all web site managers face. My intent is to use this blog as a space to share my ideas and also as a sounding board to toss various ideas around the community. It is also a personal repository of all things I find useful on the web, like my links page, hoping that others will find nuggets of useful info somewhere.

More importantly, it is a test bed for various ideas. It is intriguing the kinds of things I have learnt in the short period I started building this blog. Initially, I wanted to hire a pro to design and build the site. After getting scared away with crazy quotes, I decided to do it myself! So I charged head first into the morass of CSS, HTML, PHP, Wordpress , plugins and even some cool custom hacks for Google Analytics. Besides being time consuming, it is a huge refresher course for any Web Analyst to get under the hood and tinker about.

Many thanks to the various plugin developers for the Wordpress platform who so generously helped with setting up my site. Look for my first detailed post soon!
