A Few New Plugins for MT

Recently I decided to play around some with MT 4, and after being inspired by the screenshots for Mark Carey’s Vistor Stats plugin, I tossed together a few of my own stat display widgets for the three services I like to keep my eye on:

Both of the Google widgets require that you have the perl module Crypt::SSLeay installed so that https urls can be accessed by perl.

Have you seen Samuel's post? It seems like lots of smart thinking is converging on this area of the platform.

I've been trying to find some place to report my installation of FeedBurnerWidget. I installed it and added the address to my feed.. but the stats just won't appear on the dashboard :S. It's not pulling them in from feedburner. Two days.. empty stats. Any news on an update or more information on your plugins David? The GoogleAnalytics Widget does work though! Awesome!

FeedBurner has been having problems reporting subscriber numbers recently. I can't remember off the top of my head where I read that, but I will see if I can get a link. The widget only tries to grab that information once every 24 hours, so just wait a day and see if anything changes.

I'll do that. Thank you for the heads up David. Can't wait for you to dish up some new plugins!
