Steve Jobs: Almost 3 Years After His Death, How He architected Your Love For Apple©

Copyright © 2014 www.octa.com Happy Anniversary, Visionary! 
It's been almost 3 Years since Steve Jobs passed away, and now, there are topics, even discussions, and talks introduced that we've never heard of, not even have the slightest idea that these (Steve's most hidden legendary thought) are still here, even today - and beyond. 

We may have gone busy with our day-to-day lives -- using your iPhone, and all these aesthetically designed (both in hardware & software combined, and in concept) Apple products, but this can be the time we can stop for a moment - and listen. Yes, listen to CultCast.
Here's a buzz about Steve, the architect of Apple, showing you how to build a closer and loving relationship with these Apple products.

Blog Site Tweak: Let There Be Comments!

"No one's giving out their piece of comment...", said Pat, while checking his blog site. This should be a nice line in a fictional high-tech or modern-themed e-book somewhere, right? LOL! 

How did I figure this out? You can check out my blog: "In-Page Analytics: What Makes You Click?" to know more about how I stumbled upon this very handy feature. Okay, You may have a different blog platform, but the concept should all be the same: Check your post/comment settings, and make sure this is enabled, and configured right. This is super fundamental, you say. Yup, I hear you, and IKR.

This blog will only feature any associated accounts you may have with Google, and that, with Blogger,

For Google Accounts, log in to your blogger dashboard, and select the page you wish to double check if your comments are set in the right way - just the way you want it. 

Select Settings on the left side pane. Next, click on Post and Comments. Now on this part, you need to consider who do you think can post comments: Anyone, including anonymous users, Registered users, Anyone with Google Accounts, and the members of your blog.

You can be your own moderator! Check which posted comment is a spam, or a legit  and an honestly said thought. You can select Always if you really want to moderate all posted comments all the time. Sometimes if you have a time parameter - let's say you wish to control the comments coming in depending on how old those posts were. After that, you'll be asked for your email address so you'll be notified every time someone gives out comments about your blog (or can be a spam).

"But I hate Spam!" Doesn't everyone? Aren't we glad there's this Show word verification option, to rid all those nasty bots, and non-bots, once and for all?  Make sure to save those settings, and watch those comments flow! 




In-Page Analytics: What Makes You Click?

I just checked and viewed some report from Google Analytics, and boy, did I miss out some nice gems. What am I talking about? The Comments! Now that's why I don't see anything coming in. 

How'd I notice this when scanning through Google's report?  Simple, I went to In-Page Analytics, this is under the Behavior side bar, under the reporting tab. 

You can also download this cool feature as one of Google Chrome's extension, so you can either enable or disable it anytime you like. You will get this dialog box in case you haven't installed the extension yet. And, you can click on load full view to see all the details of your site/post in a different tab.

Okay, so why am I stressing this out so much? Basic intuition, guys! You get to see how each reader interacts with your site. You can tell which link is clicked and accessed the most, to sum it all up.

Just imagine how useful this would be on your mid-day analysis report, or whatever time you check your site. Isn't technology so Amazing?!
