Looking through Google Analytics for my websites, I have always been struck by the lack of IE7 uptake seemingly apparent from the statistics. However, I recently discovered that there may be a reason for this. I use the Ultimate GA plugin with my WordPress blogs and that adds the JavaScript code block near the bottom of the page. However, I recently saw that giving me scripting errors in IE7 and a spot of manual coding saw it travel to the header section of the web page. That, and the deactivation of the said plugin, was sufficient to rid of the errors in question. Seeing the effect of my changes on the reported share of visitors using IE7 could be interesting. It might even boost the Vista numbers as well.

After sticking with Andreas09 for so long, I have been lured into using Prosumer instead. A spot of tweaking has turned it from a fixed width layout into something a spot more fluid. It’s more edgy than its predecessor but I hope to make things appear a touch more harmonious, to my eyes anyway, over time. The level of personalisation might be even greater too, never a bad thing when it comes to standing out from the crowd. While on WordPress.com, I did try with Andreas09 but the greyness that I added got to me in the end and I stuck with a brighter scheme after moving the blog. We’ll see how it all goes on from here…
