My Divorce With Mint

Posted on 20 June, 2007 at 11:37am with 3 comments

Over the recent months, I have tried to of my web stats addiction, now I have decided to cut this whole problem off at the pass. This weekend, I actually removed Mint from my server – and I haven’t felt better. It is not that Mint was bad, it was just too good. Looking back, I spent more time looking at my statistics than working or writing on my blog. From this point on, I am going to be less concerned about the traction of this site and more so about delivering quality articles, content and experience to the users. It has been a long while since I have written a design article, something I am fairly disappointed about. Hopefully all the time I spent looking and mulling over my stats will now be spent actually doing something worthwhile.

I do not think many folks will argue that the content on this site has been subpar in the past few months. Sure, I have added a photoblog and Comment Love, but it retrospect, that really is not too significant for that amount of time. I have tons of articles in the queue that are half-written, my hope is those can be finished and published within the coming weeks. My congrats to Shaun Inman for making a truly powerful web statistics package – I just found it a little too powerful…
