Tina and Jon Wedding Banquet in Taipei Survey

陳佩君喬樂文台北喜宴問卷

Since I am a big nerd, I am having so much fun digging through Google Analytics!

I was so excited today when I got my first Google Analytics results! It's fascinating to look through what Google Analytics is tracking. Apparently, I have a very international friend base! Some of the interesting findings are the following:

1. Since I launched/advertised my blog on Facebook last night, more than 31 friends have kindly visited my blog and they are from all over the world! (see the Map on top - countries of origin include US, Taiwan, Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden, Hong Kong, Canada and Japan and that can be translated into 20 different cities! )

2. Although the average time people spent on my blog is 5:36 minutes, most people visited and exited my site in less than 10 seconds!! (Really!? This is like a Flash Mob!)

3. One person flipped through 15 different pages on my tiny little blog - who could that be? - oh wait, it's probably me!! Ha

4. I got a good amount of visits from 三重 in Taiwan! and there was also one visit via iPhone! Cool stuff.

Maintaining a blog and learning Google Analytics are both very new to me! This is really fun. :)

Cake decorating class final project

It had never occurred to me before that I could create/bake something so beautiful. I baked this cake from scratch, iced the surface, made the roses and everything! It was not as hard as I thought although I have to say that the up-front investment in acquiring all the tools was a bit higher than I thought. The instructor said that the best way to practice is to always bring a cake to whoever's potluck party you go to. I think that's what I am going to do.

ps. It's devil's food cake underneath- chocolate chocolate and chocolate!!

Now, this is the one I made last week - you can definitely see it's more rudimentary. But since it's my first baby, it's still very special.  FYI- I am planning to make a chocolate chip pecan pie next week!

Learning Google Analytics

Today I want to set up a Google Analytics account and start learning about how to analyze traffic, source, bounce rate and all that fun stuff on my own website. So I started a blog, which is long overdue, since everyone in the modern world has a least one blog that they actively manage. So here it is. My First Step.
