Blogger Statistics is now available

“You cannot manage what you cannot measure.
Identify the areas in which improvement is essential
to your success and find a way to track your progress.”
- Dr. John Maxwell

I just discovered that Blogger Statistics is now available for use.
This is great! Blogger users now have the convenience of checking
out their statistics from within Blogger. Just use Blogger in Draft
and you can avail of this function.

Why are statistics important? Basically, you will want to know if
people are visiting your blog or not. Yes, I said WILL. When I first
started out, I was content with just blogging. But as the months /
years progressed, I had to ask myself, "Are people ACTUALLY
READING my blog?"

You could say this is a valid question for any "passion blogger".
But this is a vital question for any problogger. And the time you
start asking yourself this is the time you'll start looking for a
way to measure the blog's statistics (also called metrics). As they
say, "The numbers don't lie."

Unfamiliar with Blogger in Draft? Simply type the words "draft" over
the "www" portion of the Blogger URL. Your URL will now look like
this: http://draft.blogger.com ~~~ Congratulations, you are now using
the Blogger in Draft mode! You will notice that the Blogger logo is now
blue. Yes, it's that simple!

Here's a visual:

Step 1 - Use Blogger in Draft (http://draft.blogger.com)
Step 2 - In Dashboard, Click on Stats


Step 3 - View the stats


p.s. No need to rush this. Enjoy your blogging first. Do this when you've
decided on getting "major major" serious with your blogging. hahaha!
