Always wanted to go to the Moon? Well, you can. Thanks to Google.
When you follow the above link you will find that all lunar landing sites are relatively close to each other. So, there much of the Moon that still needs to be explored.
And when you zoom in on the various locations you will find what you always suspected ...
I just found out about Google Pages. This is again something easy that the guys 'n gals at Google have thrown into the big pond.
Well, hard to describe after using it only for 15 minutes or so. But it is another free place to set up your own web site with a simple CMS wrapped around it so anyone can now set up a website. You have 100 MB of space which should be more than enough for most users. And yes it is free.
Now I will have to think of a good purpose for this.
I guess I will come back on that one.
FWIW I have created some pages here.
I finally got around updating my template. The previous one was broken and all over the place. Now things should be tidier.
There is still a problem (in wonderful IE!) with images that are wider than the main column. In Firefox the overflow:hidden is nicely adhered, but IE just plainly ignores this. Any suggestions on how to fix this for IE are welcome!
It is not yet finished but finished enough for the time being.
In case anyone was wondering about the specifics. It is source ordered three column layout. Based on a design by Blue Robot. That I fiddled just a bit to make it what it is now.
I might just take this template and put it up for download on my site. If anyone is interested drop me line.
Just giving away another bit of my "secrets" ;-) After my first and second entry on results and the meaning of Google Analytics this time just a short one.
It had disappeared for some time from Google Analytics (servers overloaded?) it has now returned in full fashion.
The site overlay gives a very easy to read report. It shows a page of your site in mini browser control and on all the links it shows how many people have clicked on each. It is very intuitive.
Google AnalyticsSite Overlay
This screen allows you to navigate your site while viewing traffic and conversion data for each link. The exit rate for the page is shown on the upper right corner of overlay. The blue and green bars are graphic indicators of clicks and quality, respectively, for each link on the page. Click on any set of blue and green bars to view metrics for that link: the number of clicks, the conversion rates for each goal you have defined, and the $Index. Links with the highest $Index are those links most commonly visited prior to high-value conversions during a visit. Click on any link to navigate to that page.
Well, it gives you an easy overview of where the clicks went from any page to another page within your site. It also has the exit percentage so you know how many people just plainly left your site.
The screen shot of the index page of the Roho Products website shows that still quite a bit people are leaving and that also quite a few people (almost one in five) click on the link that leads to the page itself. I do hope Jacob Nielsen does not read this!
More evidence that my home page needs a redesign. And in fact I am now in progress with a new home page that will come in front of this one. That new index page will try to better gauge the visitors to the pages that I would like them to see.
There is no crying over spilt milk under the bridge on a rainy day
