I have just installed the Coppermine Photo Gallery on this site so we can show some photographs that we have taken of the Philippines and other places we have seen. You can access the gallery at http://www.villaver.org/gallery/ .

I have found a few useful sites and articles that help explain how to make the most of Google Analytics.
The WikiPedia article on Google Analytics is still fairly basic but it includes a short history and some links.
It was quite obvious how to add the Google Analytics JavaScript to the webpages that track the visitors but it was not clear how to track when visitors click links that leave the site. I discovered a Google help page that explained how to add a simple JavaScript function as an onClick() call in an HTML anchor to track outbound clicks and files that are downloaded.
I’m considering using MediaWiki to add a Wiki to this site, although I don’t need it yet. I discovered a page on stoltenow.com that explained how to add the Google Analytics JavaScript in one place to the skin: /wiki/skins/MonoBook.php
