I am such a dumb noob.

I've been farting around with a blog for a few months and just yesterday set-up a Google Analytics account.

Wow... is this cool! It shows you how many people are visiting your site, where they came from, where they live (I had one from Alaska) and much more.

GA should be the FIRST thing webmasters get when they launch a site.

So any other noobs out there... get this NOW! It's free! Long live Google!
