For the past month, I’ve been trying to improve the blog. There are a few changes in the layout and distribution of the site, and I’ve started using a the services of Google Analytics and Feedburner in order to keep a better track of the site.

By the way, If you are interested in learning how to set up Google Analytics for your site, make sure to check the post Track Your WebSite Stats With Google Analytics.

Back to the purpose of this post… Sherina’s blog is in Technorati now. Feel free to stop by our Technorati Profile.

I’m sure that by now many of you have seen the web site of the political candidate Barack Obama just to make it clear I’m not trying to endorse any political party. I’m just pointing out the obvious and recognizing the good work of this particular web designing team.
