Stats – Stats – Stats. They can drive everything for your WordPress site. They can help you understand how visitors move around your site; how they got there in the first place; what are the most popular posts they are visiting; what browser and OS they are using.

I have served for 26 plus years in the Navy and am a Master Chief Petty Officer. My work background in the Navy is telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well in what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

I have progressed from a single page, link-filled, static html page to using PHP, databases and coding to make my pages.
