You moved! *link updates* Nice guide on Wordpress! For my personal blog I run MovableType on my domain, but the whole WoW blog thing was a side project so Blogger seemed to be a bit more effortless on the whole. That and most of the wow blogging community seems to be on blogger? Spam free comments and what. Though, in light of the nasty things Blogger is doing I should reconsider and follow your guide. Btw Google Analytics is pretty amazing. Woah! You moved! *link updates*

If you'd like another way of measuring site traffic, I'd also recommend Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics). You'll need to insert a piece of code in there, but it'll also track your visitors, their location, browser, system, etc, etc. Google Webmasters Tools is one of the best analytical pieces services out there.

What your normal site meters will provide you with are the queries clicked through which lead to your site. The tools will give you also the list of the queries where your site appeared in the results, their position in the results list, as well as the keyword combinations clicked through and their position in the search results page. Is it important? Depends. But it can give you a more accurate view of what people are looking for relating to your site.

I do have one question (as I've long since done just about everything else you recommend): Why claim my blog on Google's Webmaster Tools? I looked at those for my guildsite, and became thoroughly confused as to exactly what I was trying to do, and why I was doing it. Before I start adding things to my site(s), I like to have a good idea why. That’s a great guide, Gwaendar, and I’m sure should be helpful to lots of folks.
