The last day has been intense - getting redirect issues (hopefully most of those are solved) with posts and categories was a learning experience and I hired Lara Leavitt, who used to work for Know More Media, to help us with the transition issues.

I’m sure Sebastian Wenzel and I could have eventually solved these problems but neither her or I have the bandwidth to do so, right now. I also hired a Web Designer to create a new template for this blog, Krissy S, and I’m very optimistic that she’ll come up with a really unique, different looking design for this blog - something that combines my love for Art with Web Analytics - I hope to have that in place before traveling to California next week, but I don’t actually know how long it will take. I have been delegating more responsibilities to others- I’ve had to, I’m getting too busy and I don’t have the actual skill set needed to fix many of the problems I came across (though I’m sure I could pick the knowledge up, if I were so inclined). Among other things today, I had an pelimanary meeting with some of my committee members to discuss a new proposal for how the Web Analytics Association may operate with Social Media in the future.

I also attended the local Web Analytics Wednesday at BARNA tonight and ran into Dennis Mortensen, who now works at Yahoo! and who sold IndexTools to Yahoo! (which is now called Yahoo! Analytics). And on another piece of news - I’ll be attending Virtual Worlds 2008 in Los Angeles on September 3rd and 4th working with Code4Software.com to present new Virtual World Metrics. And then, a Web Analytics Association Board of Directors Retreat near Boston on September 5th - 7th… will be interesting - esp since we have a new Board Member, but the name of that member hasn’t been announced yet. More later.
