There are some very interesting things going on recently in terms of how we put together our sites and it’s leading to quite a few interesting discussions, mostly between those who aren’t ready to even consider using new web technologies until IE offer support for them and those who have whole heartedly embraced the ideas of progressive enhancement and graceful degradation. Personally I fall into the latter category, using HTML5 to code up sites and using CSS3 all over the place.

Google Analytics in Depth: Goals and Funnels
Head over to Six Revisions for my new guest article on Google Analytics Goals and Funnels, the start of a series of posts digging into some more advanced Google Analytics set-ups.
If you’re interested in Analytics you may also want to check out my new side project StatShare.
New Project – Stat Share
Well I have a new project I’ve been looking to start putting together for a while but I’ve got as far as a domain and a holding page. The project is called StatShare and is at http://www.statshare.net. The aim is for people to share their website analytic reports via the site, anonymously, and they will then be collected together and analysed to produce useful data on bounce rates, visitor numbers and conversion rates amongst other things. By giving sites profiles the site will hopefully deliver reports on bounce rates for blogs in various traffic bands for example.
If you’re interested head over to http://www.statshare.net and pop in your email address and be sure to follow the official StatShare twitter account @statshare.
Oh and there’s a bit of webkit animation in there if you can find it! – enjoy.
