WOOPRA – ADD A WIDGET PLEASE ;)
-
As already commented on several occasions on this forum for the past 12 months, it would be great to add a WOOPRA WIDGET to the WORPRESS.COM platform.
Now that WOOPRA has come out of beta would be a good time to do so.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
I would not hold my breath waiting for woopra to be added here, not with wordpress having their own stats package – even with the home-grown stats lacking in details.
Also, wordpress never takes any action on a beta release of anything. It is like running in circles blindfolded, trying to hit a moving target.
I’ve used woopra in testing from time to time on a few blogs I manage, and am not impressed at all. I hate getting calls at 3am saying, help! the blog isn’t loading, and I find out it is woopra that is freezing things up. I disable it and everything is fine. Sadly, the clients are addicted to the slick graphs and splashy colors. I expect they spend most of the time they should be writing posts looking at graphs.
-
I don’t use any of them. I use the AWStats in the cPanel on my self-hosted blog, and the included blog stats here. All I look at is the number of page views per day – and I only do that once per day. Once in a while I look at search terms.
-
I have used Woopra on other publishing platforms and I found it very useful and “nice”. It would be a great ad to WP.
-
I used woopra on my self hosted wordpress blog but found that it was a resource hog, and that I was distracted from my blogging becaise I found myself staring at live stats all day long. I removed it. Instead I use wordpress.com stats, aw stats (comes with my web hosting package), and sitemeter on my self hosted wordpress blog. On my wordpress.COM blog I use sitemeter as well as wordpress stats and find these are sufficient for my needs.

But you’ve got the FEEDJIT, timethief! I was just on your site and saw it. What is that if not live stats all day long? And it costs 10 dollar a month too. Is it worth it?

I have recently added a feedjit to my wordpress.COM free hosted blog at http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com. It is a free live tracking widget that is not a resource hog and does not slow down page loading time. You can get it here http://feedjit.com/joinimg/ Do note that the javascript version cannot be used on wordpress.com blogs. You must use the non-javascript version.As I said above I do not use woopra on my self hosted wordpress.ORG install at http://thistimehisspace.com. I removed it because it was a resource hog that slowed down page loading time

That would be a distraction if you were sitting on your blog main page looking at it all day long. Few people do that. Most bloggers are in their dashboard creating posts and such. I only see my blog main page once a day when I start my browser.
-
Gosh, who would do such a thing? We don’t know anyone like that around here, do we?
So, how do you like it, TT?

“So, how do you like it, TT? “
I assume you mean the feedjit on onecoolsite. If so, it’s working well and it does not slow down page loading time.
-
Thanks. Does it give you information other stats widgets don’t? What makes it different from Sitemeter, etc?
