This is just a quick post. When I have created the Google Analytics account I remember that I have created a sort of a filter that prevented Analytics to record also my visits on the website. But all this has happened many months ago, and now I no longer remember what have I done and how.

Since I have noticed that the analytics log was showing strange behaviors of visitors on my blog, I have thought that probably that filter would not have been in place for word press too. This is why I have googled the problem a little bit and I have eventually identified a solution.

While browsing the Apple Appstore I’ve noticed that there is an app that lets you administer your wordpress blog directly from the Iphone.

When configuring the app you have to fill in some forms with the URL of the blog, the username and the password. All the data were correct but I was always getting the same error: “Incorrect username or password“.

I’ve googled this problem a little bit and in the end I have found the solution.

Or wordpress keeps showing me ads from the Google public services. How many times did I run into these posts on websites or forums of users asking for help because they were not available to have Google Adsense installed and working in their wordpress blogs?

I wanted to add Google Adsense ads to my blog but the more I was adding ads with different plugins the more Google was showing the ads of the public service or was not showing everything at all. For all of those that have encountered this problem I can now provide with my solution.
