Email alert setup within Google Analytics is not complex, but the alerts are a great way to stay connected with your blog without having to sit down at your laptop.

 

To set up, open one of your Analytics accounts and find the "Email" button on the top toolbar while on the Dashboard page.

 

 

When on the Email Setup page, you can configure how you want your alerts to function. Analytics allows you to send reports immediately or configure a schedule, with the ability to send to others in addition to yourself. Daily, weekly, and monthly alert options are all available.

 

 

Attachment format options are plentiful, including: PDF, XML, CSV for Excel, TSV. I chose the PDF option, but the text is a little too small for the Blackberry screen. iPhone users will most likely need to use the zoom feature.

 

For those concerned, my first alert came just after noon, illustrating Google is cool with sleeping in.

 

NOTE: This Analytics report is for an inactive, experimental page. Don't judge.

If you want to keep using tRev, do not use resetAll to close all sockets in Revolution! Just close the sockets you are using. Leave tRev's sockets alone, please. We don't want to upset the little guy, now do we? Worse case: restart tRev.
