A few people have noticed on their sites that Google Analytics is no longer tracking users, or rather, it's not tracking all visits to the site. We recently upgraded the Google Analytics module to the latest official release, which added some features as well as permissions. To restore tracking, you may need to update your site's settings:

1. go to Administer » User management » Access control and give your role the "administer google analytics" permission.
2. then go to Administer » Site configuration » Google Analytics, and set which roles you want to track. If you want to track non-logged-in visitors to your site, make sure you include the "anonymous user" role.

We updated our documentation on statistics tracking as well to reflect the changes in the module.

OpenID is an open decentralized identity framework where you can get your own identity and re-use it across the internet. The first application is single sign on which means you can login onto many websites and web applications and services (more being added daily! And all Bryght Basic sites can now support OpenId) using just one id (a URL) and one password rather than multiple passwords and multiple identities which is the case today.

To explain OpenID single sign on, we have two new screencasts for OpenID which has been included in Bryght Basic since July 31, 2007:

• Logging into a Drupal Site and Ma.gnolia using OpenID Screencast
• Associating an OpenID with your Drupal Account

Yesterday we updated support.bryght.com to the latest tagged release, which means you can login to the site using your OpenID. I've written some documentation on how to login via OpenID (the documentation does not yet apply to hosted service sites, but will soon). Also, we added FeedBurner to the Bryght Support site, so we can do a little bit of tracking of stats around how many people read the site. Also, since FeedBurner makes it easy, we've added block on the sidebar where you can add your address to get security updates via email. As usual, you can also subscribe to the RSS feed of the security updates instead (it's the feed icon at the bottom of the security updates page). The FeedBurner documentation is almost done, so I'll publish that shortly.
