Google Analytics

Head to “Settings” > “Google Analytics” and enter your account number to start tracking your site’s usage!

Favicons

Change the favicon for your site unser “Settings” > “Favicons”. Unfortunately the only way to upload your favicon is by adding it through the upload system in the post and page authoring area. We will be installing a file management plugin soon.

New look

We’re working on a StixCamp theme that will be applied to all sites. Everything’s in the air at the moment, but we hope to provide ample opportunity to customise, such as uploading header logos, auto-generating banners based on logos, text and colour schemes, and so forth.

If there’s anything you think would be a great addition to the sites or the admin areas, please let us know.

In most other ways they are the same, but StixCamps are a little different.

For example, you might need to bring a tent. There might not be mains water or electicity. There might not be any access to an Internet connection. And you’ll more than likely have to take everything that you brought back home with you.

If you fancy running your own StixCamp, feel free to create an account and get cacking!
