Motherhood… Taking it to the next level

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 11:00am

For those of you who are parents already know this but like growing up parenting has different stages. I have officially crossed over and stared a whole new stage and did not think it would come so fast. My son Grant is 3.5, he is loud outgoing and can walk into a room of strangers and instantly be the center of attention. He is in every way the complete opposite of me and that is what I admire the most about him.

Today however I blew it. I woke up to puppy crazyness and 3 year old boy crazzness and very little caffinne in my system. I for some reason remebered it was grants costume day at his school… Or so I thought. After about 1.5 hrs of getting dressed getting lunch ready we were finally on our way to school. When we got there and walked in Grant wispers to me “Mom where is everyone’s costume” I told myself and him that they were just waiting till the parade to put them on. All the teachers were so nice and kept teilling him how wonderfull he looked as Robin {as in batman and robin}. I then suddenly got the nerve to ask if today was the costume parade… No it was not. I suddenly felt really bad but then looked at Grant with his hands on his hipps saying “MOM What did you do that for!” He could not look at any one else in the eye and made me take him to the bathroom to change. After that he told me I could take his costume home and get him later. :(

Sorry Grant. Here are some other pictures form me torturing him form a homework assignment that I had to do.

Google Analyticator Settings

Google Analyticator is brought to you for free by Spiral Web Consulting. Spiral Web Consulting is a small web development firm specializing in PHP development. Visit our website to learn more, and don't hesitate to ask us to develop your next big WordPress plugin idea.

Basic Settings

Google Analytics integration is currently DISABLED.
Google Analytics integration is currently enabled, but you did not enter a UID. Tracking will not occur.
\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; ?>
\n"; ?>

Enter your Google Analytics' UID in this box. The UID is needed for Google Analytics to log your website stats. Your UID can be found by looking in the JavaScript Google Analytics gives you to put on your page. Look for your UID in between _uacct = "UA-11111-1"; in the JavaScript. In this example you would put UA-11111-1 in the UID box.

Advanced Settings


Your Google Analytics account's username. This is needed to authenticate with Google for use with the stats widget.

Your Google Analytics account's password. This is needed to authenticate with Google for use with the stats widget.
\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; ?>

Disabling this option will prevent all logged in WordPress admins from showing up on your Google Analytics reports. A WordPress admin is defined as a user with a level \n"; ?> or higher. Your user level is .
\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; ?>

Selecting the "Remove" option will physically remove the tracking code from logged in admin users. Selecting the "Use 'admin' variable" option will assign a variable called 'admin' to logged in admin users. This option will allow Google Analytics' site overlay feature to work, but you will have to manually configure Google Analytics to exclude tracking from hits with the 'admin' variable.
\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; ?>

Enabling this option will insert the Google Analytics tracking code in your site's footer instead of your header. This will speed up your page loading if turned on. Not all themes support code in the footer, so if you turn this option on, be sure to check the Analytics code is still displayed on your site.
\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; ?>

Disabling this option will turn off the tracking of outbound links. It's recommended not to disable this option unless you're a privacy advocate (now why would you be using Google Analytics in the first place?) or it's causing some kind of weird issue.
\n"; ?>

Enter a name for the section tracked external links will appear under.
\n"; ?>

Enter any extensions of files you would like to be tracked as a download. For example to track all MP3s and PDFs enter mp3,pdf. Outbound link tracking must be enabled for downloads to be tracked.
\n"; ?>

Enter a name for the section tracked download links will appear under.
\n"; ?>

Enter your Google Adsense ID assigned by Google Analytics in this box. This enables Analytics tracking of Adsense information if your Adsense and Analytics accounts are linked. Note: Google recommends the Analytics tracking code is placed in the header with this option enabled, however, a fix is included in this plugin. To follow the official specs, do not enable footer tracking.
"; echo stripslashes(get_option(key_ga_extra))."\n"; ?>

Enter any additional lines of tracking code that you would like to include in the Google Analytics tracking script. The code in this section will be displayed before the Google Analytics tracker is initialized. Read Google Analytics tracker manual to learn what code goes here and how to use it.
"; echo stripslashes(get_option(key_ga_extra_after))."\n"; ?>

Enter any additional lines of tracking code that you would like to include in the Google Analytics tracking script. The code in this section will be displayed after the Google Analytics tracker is initialized. Read Google Analytics tracker manual to learn what code goes here and how to use it.
\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; echo "\n"; ?>

Explicitly set the type of HTTP connection your website uses. Setting this option instead of relying on the auto detect may resolve the _gat is undefined error message.

\n"; echo ' \n\n"; } } } } // The guts of the Google Analytics script function add_google_analytics() { global $ga_in_footer; $uid = stripslashes(get_option(key_ga_uid)); $extra = stripslashes(get_option(key_ga_extra)); $extra_after = stripslashes(get_option(key_ga_extra_after)); $extensions = str_replace (",", "|", get_option(key_ga_downloads)); // If GA is enabled and has a valid key if ( (get_option(key_ga_status) != ga_disabled ) && ( $uid != "XX-XXXXX-X" )) { // Display page tracking if user is not an admin if ( ( get_option(key_ga_admin) == ga_enabled || !current_user_can('level_' . get_option(key_ga_admin_level)) ) && get_option(key_ga_admin_disable) == 'remove' || get_option(key_ga_admin_disable) != 'remove' ) { echo "\n"; # Google Adsense data if enabled if ( get_option(key_ga_adsense) != '' && !$ga_in_footer ) echo ' \n\n"; // Pick the HTTP connection if ( get_option(key_ga_specify_http) == 'http' ) { echo " \n\n"; } elseif ( get_option(key_ga_specify_http) == 'https' ) { echo " \n\n"; } else { echo " \n\n"; } echo " \n"; // Include the file types to track $extensions = explode(',', stripslashes(get_option(key_ga_downloads))); $ext = ""; foreach ( $extensions AS $extension ) $ext .= "'$extension',"; $ext = substr($ext, 0, -1); // Include the link tracking prefixes $outbound_prefix = stripslashes(get_option(key_ga_outbound_prefix)); $downloads_prefix = stripslashes(get_option(key_ga_downloads_prefix)); ?>
