I realized I didn’t have any way of checking stats easily for CyDy Blog (NSFW), so I wanted to find a WordPress plugin that could do it for me. Colleen had recommended a WP plugin called ShortStat, but I thought I would look for other options and I came across the seemingly-robust FireStats. I’ve installed it over at CyDy Blog, and I decided to put it over here too. I never remember to check my MeasureMap stats (a quick glance reveals 59,332 visitors since I started using it a year ago, minus some from when I changed my design and forgot to put the MeasureMap code back) or my Analog stats, and Google Analytics doesn’t like me for some reason, so I thought perhaps having it in my WP admin screens would get me to check it out more often.

I’ve also installed Anti-Leech on both sites. It’s another WP plugin, this time with the intention of fighting back against splogs that steal your content.
