Adding the Google+ into your Blog

I’m sure some of you would have taken notice that some blogs start to spot the Google +1 icon in their posts. You can head over to Google’s +1 Generator page to create one easily for yourself and simply follow the instruction to cut and paste into your blog.

Adding the +1 button to your pages lets users recommend your content, knowing that their friends and contacts will see their recommendation when it’s most relevant—in the context of Google search results.

Analytics360 on WordPress

Just installed the Analytics360 plugin into my WordPress and all I can say is, It’s AWESOME! I’m not sure about you but I do find it a chore to check my Google Analytics on Google but with this plugin, that problem is solved. If you’re a MailChimp user, this also works for you as well.
