If you only care that your friends and family are reading, or that you blog as a form of journal (for you) then Analytics won't do much except give you some useless numbers. However, if you blog to spread information, help others, or in even to make money sometime - then these numbers will help you better serve your community. That is my two cents anyhow. I personally blog to teach, to learn, to tell my story (and for my family to know what the kids are doing) and to hone my writing skills. I have managed through using analytics to figure out what my small community was interested it - and what they aren't. That said - don't drop posts you enjoy doing! Oh, and wordless wednesday aren't unpopular - they just won't drive a lot of search traffic because there are no words! So they may appear more unpopular. But I suspect all your subscribers (for this use Feedburner) check out Wordless Wednesday. I do! <abbr><em>Michelle Kostyas last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/megoagain/mego/~3/513035576/">Isn’t this so 1982?

I can say with great precision how many people view my site and can identify my most popular content. I can say that my page views spike when I participate in Take It and Run Thursday. What Google Analytics is terrible at is making me give a darn about driving up my traffic. It's bad about making me write compelling content that more people want to read. It doesn't make me funny. I short it's not doing what needs doing. Google Analytics has been a mixed blessing for me. I can say with great precision how many people view my site and can identify my most popular content.
