I was never good at math. I'm much better with words than I am with numbers. With that said, I do understand that if I want to build a blog that is useful to my readers, I need to pay attention to the numbers -- which posts are the most read? how are people finding my site? The problem is, I'm never quite sure how to use the numbers that are all over my Google Analytics page. The numbers are there, but I've been afraid of them. I've already found some useful stuff here to help me decipher some things. Also, Carlos, the more I read here, the less afraid I am of the dreaded NUMBERS. Thanks! And please keep up the good work.
