Bubble Analytics - Easy to add, Useful to have


With huge thanks to Mitch and Karin both of Redbubble, I found out that Google Analytics is now available! We've waited years to be able to add this kind of data collection code. 


The following is where it was found and a quick blurb about what it is (thanks to RB)...
Home → Knowledge Base → Advanced RedBubble → 
Google Analytics 
RedBubble allows you to use Google Analytics to track and report on visitors to your profile and works. 
To use this feature, you will need an account with Google Analytics. 
If you already use Google Analytics, you can add your RedBubble profile and works pages to your Google Analytics account using your "Web Property ID".


my entry for the Longest Illustration forum


Can't believe its been this long since I actually wrote anything... time flies so fast when you've loads of work to do. But at least our bills are getting paid!!! And I'm getting lots of practice coding with html and php website pages for Country Bumpkin. One day, the site will get a complete overhall, but until then, I'm just updating products, articles, events, home page and other stuff... plus I produce their webletters each week. The overhall will more than likely done by Fab, our new graphic designer, but I'll be her sidekick for the grand event! Hopefully Lynton (our other graphic designer) will get interested in having a go too, cos its such a great job creating websites!
My inner nerd loves doing this job... geez, I don't know, fancy getting a thrill from pressing the "send" button at MailChimp or uploading a page to the admin!!!!


On the home front, living in a house again is fantastic. Lots more work than having a unit cos there's more to clean and fix but having the space is amazing!!! And even though I spend more time mowing grass and pulling weeds than actually gardening, its great having the veggie plots there to use when I eventually find more time to dig and plant! 
At least I've managed to read a book (a really short one and I was sick at the time, which sort of slowed me down!), create a few ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) while discovering my inner scrapbook addict, paint a pic for the Longest Illustration and ahem, play facebook and iphone games. Ahhh... but good news, I've just recently managed to squish my fb game addiction. Can't say the same for the phone... I've got drawing apps, camera apps, The Creeps!, Plants vs Zombies, MailChimp app (cos I can't seem to turn work off), Pocket God, GodFinger and a 'few' others. If I wasn't scrapping and drawing and painting as well, I'd be really worried that I'd become a total game nerd...


What are you up to these days? Any exciting news? Huge news (I'm a bit behind but this I do know!!) Karin has *sold over 2000 items*... such an incredible thing to do!! I'm soooo happy for her!!!! May she (and us all) sell many 1000s more!


Nice chatting to you again, I promise not to leave it so long next time!


Happy bubbling,
:D
