Speed up your Blog by Tweaking Google Analytic code

Loading speed of a website can be very vital to the visitor experience. Many of you might have observed that Google analytics code can slow your website down. Basically the problem is, your browser waits for the tracking code to be downloaded and then starts loading your website. This can slow down your website drastically. With this new Google analytic Asynchronous code you can stop this delay.

Follow these easy steps to tweak your blog analytic code :

1) Open your Google Analytics Account. Scroll to the website you want to analyse. You can find an account number of the form UA-XXXXX-X.

2) Insert this code, after the <body> tag. Make sure you replace UA-XXXXX-X.

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga);  })();

</script>

Clean up your Desktop using Desktop Teleporter

Most of our desktops are in a mess. Its mostly because its the most accessible area of our computer. We tend to put in all our downloads, WinRAR extracts, notes, etc. Most of us use these files just once! Except maybe My computer and the Browser.

Here an awesome piece of software which helps to clean your desktop, its called Desktop Teleporter.

Desktop Teleporter

You just have to specify some rules and a target folder. This software moves your specified files into the target folders. If you want some files to stay on the desktop you just add it to the exclusion list. This application is also very tiny, you don’t even have to install anything. You just click on the executable file you’ll have it on the system tray.
