Just had a problem adding the tracking code for a website under google analytics. The default page for the website is “home.html” however it appears google wasn’t happy with this. The solution was to modify the profile for the website in Analytics and manually add the page as the “default page” so that google had the full path.

I’ve seen a number of emails recently which appear to be from Microsoft with advice about a critical patch you need to install.
The latest one was titled “Install Critical Update for Microsoft Outlook” regarding patch “officexp-KB910721-FullFile-ENU.exe“
Delete these emails – they’re not legit! MS would never email you with advice like this as you should be using automatic updates to receive any patches from them.
TIP:
If you hover your mouse over the link in the email – you’ll see that it doesn’t actually link back to Microsoft – instead it links back to a random address that “looks” like Microsoft. In my example it was linking to a site along the lines of update.microsoft.com.1lfx.mx.com. If you don’t pay attention – it’s easy to miss the “1lfx.mx.com” and think that this is linking to MS.
