Dang! Upgrade your flash plugin buddy.

I launched a new website recently, it’s just a small corporate site for a relative but I think it came out OK for what it is.

I wanted to run a transparent PNG image in the background to get a nice shadow effect, it works in Firefox OK but the support for PNG in IE is terrible. I tried to use the microsoft filter which worked, but it disabled my hyperlinks for some reason. So in ie you get an old fashioned webdithered GIF and in Firefox you get a nice 32 bit PNG file.

I received my Google Analytics invitation code finally last week, so I have some stats starting to filter through it.

I am very impressed, especially with the kinds of data it can retrieve; connection speed, flash versions, geographic locations, and the overlay feature is great.

Some of the interesting data that I have found so far; no one using 800×600 screen resolution (in the last 230 visits). Also 70% of people visiting have a cable/DSL connection. And over 80% of people have Flash version 8 or above.

Of course my stats are skewed towards a particular usergroup but I was still surprised about the amount of broadband users, I will try to see if I can correlate the connection speed with the geographic region.
