Robots - To index or not to index?
I'm having a look around the site at the moment and trying to think what I can do to help search engines spider MilkHub better. After reading about sitemap files I've started creating my sitemap.xml and I'll be fleshing that out a bit over the next week or so and pinging that to the search enginges. What else can I do?

Tracking visitors with Google Analytics
Sorry to anyone who got a few old posts through from my blog last week. I've been playing with the Google Analytics code a bit and trying out new things, one of which is a way of tracking when people have come to my site after clicking a link in one of my feeds. I found an interesting article about campaign tagging which describes how to add extra query string parameters that Google Analytics will read and use to split up my statistics for me.
If you're adding my feed to an aggregator or a public listing please feel free to add a utm_source to the url so I can tell where people are coming from, as well as which type of feed they're coming from; I will pass through the utm_source to the links in the feed. For example, I've got this in the facebook importer: http://www.milk-hub.net/blog/feed?utm_source=facebook.
Next step is to track when people read the articles.

Let Google Growl!
I've been using the Google Notifier for quite a while now and it works great except for one small gripe - the notifications don't use Growl. I've now found a plug-in called Google+Growl that adds Growl support. It works along side the Google Notifier and allows you to configure how you want your notifications to display.

Image Replacement + Google
Dave Shea asked Google the all important question "what does Google think of CSS image replacement, anyway?" to which they answered "Google's okay with it, you won't be penalized for using image replacement properly."
