some statistics

since i’ve been mentioned in the berner zeitung two weeks ago i thought it’s time to take a look at the access-statistics of my site once again [1].

Tastentest-Statistik-WidgetTastentest-Statistik-Googlesince i let google get some data about my visitors, i also have a fancy-schmanzy widget, that shows me at a quick glance if something remarkable is going on (click on the left image for bigger view).
and i have to say that one could really see that quite some people came to my site in the days after the article came out [2]. one can see it much better on the following graph, when it’s not the naked numbers… on friday the 10. november the article came out and in the two following days i had around 2-3 times more people on my little website than normal (click right image for slightly bigger view). quite nice, innit?

[1] if you want to look for yourself, they’re available in un-pretty form here. (für den schwanzlängenvergleich….)
[2] btw: it’s now available as pdf here…

citizen journalism [update]

Images 337108 Habivor längerer zeit wurde ich von this gefragt, ob ich mal beim tastentest mitmachen möcht.
nachdem die wii schon vergeben war und auf die schnelle (jemand ist abgesprungen) das sony gps-cs1 mit dem mac eine längere testphase bedingt hätte, hab ich für this gerne ein nabaztag getestet. drum die vielen hasen-fotos auf flickr…
morgen erscheint mein textli in der zeitung.
wer die BZ nicht abonniert hat oder eh lieber online liest, kann den artikel hier lesen: Habi und der Hase. wer die anderen gadget-tests von berner bloggern lesen will, findet unter espace.ch/tastentest alle bisher erschienen kolummnen [1].

oh, und falls sich wirklich neue leser hierhin bequemt haben: grüessech!

[1]: this, heisst das überhaupt so?

update: Nabaztag Bz-1aufs thumbnail rechts klicken, dann kannst du die seite, wie sie in der bz erschienen ist, herunterladen (948kb .pdf)

more plugins!

since it’s so easy to install plugins in wordpress (upload, activate, finished), i’ve installed some more plugins here:

first: dropdown-archives. they unclutter my sidebar without a single line of coding. it compacts the full archives into a nice dropdown-field. i feel like noone uses the archives, but still felt like letting them stay in the sidebar.

the second one is more for safari users (because it degrades nicely for other browsers): the safari-search-field widget. it adds a search field to the blog that looks and behaves like the one safari-users have in their top-left corner (unless you installed inquisitor 3). if you use another browser it looks like a normal search field, as you can see below.

Search.Safari-1 Search.Firefox-1

[both via wordpress widgets]

oh, and as you can see in the top-left corner: ich bin nicht elitär :-)

wordpress plugins are great!

wordpress-plugins are really neat!

i probably stumbled over lightboxJS a hundred times before. today i thought it would be really nice to have that for this site here. thanks to wordpress-plugins, implementing it here only took 4 steps:

– google wordpress plugin lightboxJS
– download the plugin from here
– drop it into /wp-content/plugins
– activate the plugin in the control panel
and now, if you click on an image, you get the nice lightboxJS-effect. try it for yourself, maybe in the post below!
and if you read me only through my feed, this might be worth checking out the site…

updating here and there

i’m updating the site on different ends, correcting importing errors, and assigning categories to post that haven’t been categorized. so bear with me (and ignore the possible quirks in the feed for some days), everything will resume to normal state soon.

for rouge, the site now has a favicon, thankts to the favicon manager for wordpress, and cocomments is now integrated thanks to the really cool plugin from david.

this blog is now without /blog

in the last few weeks movable type stressed the server more and more. after reading a bit into it, i found out, that wordpress is much fancier and much less resource-hungry as a blog platform.
and after trying out an install wordpress on habi.gna.ch, which really took less than five minutes, i was sold. now wordpress is powering habi.gna.ch and the blog is going to migrate to the root directory. everything else (pics, cv, my calendars and such) is still gonna stay where it is, and maybe be integrated into wordpress (which works quite well as a CMS) sometimes.
i’m still tinkering with the way of redirectong the old movable type archives to the imported posts, but this still has time.
if you’d like, you can change your feed addresses, but i will install a redirect-rule and leave everyting where it is.
after some time, when google and co. picked up everything, i’m gonna delete or inactivate /blog…

for your convenience [1] here are the new feed addresses:
for the posts: https://habi.gna.ch/feed/ and for the comments: https://habi.gna.ch/comments/feed/

[1] i also really like the URIs which are generated by wordpress. nice and clean (see the archives, for example…)
