It moniters site traffic and displays things like, how people got to the site, how many people stay on the site, how long they stay on the site, specific stats for certain pages, and a bunch of other cool stuff. It's like the youtube insight stats on steriods. Like I said, it's completely free. I can't offer any advice on how to use it, I don't have a website to test it out on, but I'm sure that if it's the right thing for GameCola then you guys will be all over it.

Often I just want to log in so i can leave comments. Or is it possible to "stay logged in"? It would be nice rather than having an "Older Entries" button to be able to have a sequence of numbers to go to the page and have a first/last link, similar to how the google does it. The google!

That way, on a skim-read, whoever's editing the article at the end before release can take their favorite quote and use it for front-page and when browsing through the reviews on the site. Also, Mark's suggestion is definately worth considering. If that's not possible, then I guess we'll have to put a footnote in, or include a first line that says "co-authored by x and y". That would definately work for excerpt, so I draw you to my original point for the possibly of excerpt used in reviews (revealing the potential for a joint review). Thank you. =) Revoicing my earlier suggestion — please add excerpt to the review template.

I noticed the Willy Beamish article doesn't feature the first few words from the article itself under the front page image.

Last time I checked, XHTML tags weren't working in the comments for me. Oh, and wouldn't "Leave a Comment" be more consistent than "Leave a Reply"?
