WebTrendsLive
Ends its Free Website Traffic Tracking Service
On September 30th,
WebTrendsLive is ending its free service to nonprofits. At
that point, it will being charging $35.00 per month in
order for you to get statistics about visitors to your
website.
But wait! There's hope!
Microsoft's FrontPage 2002 now includes these traffic
statistics as part of its program. Among other things, you
can use this to see:
 |
Number of visits and hits
per day, week, month, and year |
 |
Most frequently visited
pages |
 |
Referring domains ... where
are they coming from?
|
Although this is not as
comprehensive as WebTrends, it does offer this service at
no monthly fees ... just the cost of the software. You can
get FrontPage 2002 from
www.discounttech.org
for $30 (an additional license costs $20).
If you are interested in
seeing more advanced trafficking statistics, WebTrends
info can be found at
www.webtrendslive.com.
In the next Website
Developers Series, we will be integrating new 2002
features into the curricula.

Did
you know ...
When you
have large spreadsheets, going to the cell you want can be
downright irritating (did you ever get into that scrolling
loop where you go too high or too low and can never get it
just right?). So ...
PC
TIP #4
Excel 1: Spreadsheet Basics
Excel has
several shortcuts you can use to navigate through the
spreadsheet:
 |
Move your
arrow cursor to the border of your active cell.
Double-click and it will take you to the last completed
cell. This works with every border: left, right, top,
bottom. |
 |
Ctrl + Home
to go to A1.
|
 |
To identify
a cell you want to visit often, click on it and go to
Insert/Name ... Define and give it a name.
From then on, you can do Ctrl +G and select that name on
the list to go to that cell. This can be a great
time-saver if you want to see your totals quickly.
