I'm sending out another tinylytics newsletter today. It's around 1,000 words. Feel free to subscribe or check out past editions. Informal, and nothing too serious.

So much fun to see these pop up on my site from the tinylytics webring 😍
P.S These are only a small subset!
Sunday evening, and you can now add a path to an ignore list for your site in tinylytics, which means any hits coming in with that path are... ignored. Super easy. Just select "ignore path" when you filter by path and save. Optionally you can delete previous hits. Edit your list via "settings".
I've updated the tinylytics documentation to include details on how to display webring avatars. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. It'll only work for sites that did upload a site avatar (and have it enabled for the webring).
Alongside the public stats changes to tinylytics, I've also added some extra options for site avatars so you can control where they show up. By default it'll show in the webring and also the stats page. Feel free to toggle that suits you best.
Happy Sunday! Today I worked on a request, on tinylytics, to be able to show the uptime status on a public stats page. So here we go. Thank you for the suggestion ✌️❤️
Just enable it on your site settings page under "Public stats":

Following up the work on adding site images to tinylytics yesterday, I'm working on adding support to display "avatars" within the webring embed. It works pretty well, and requires a few markup tweaks to fit your site (because I don't want to mess with your design). Here's a local test:
One more small feature for tinylytics today. You can now add a site icon to your site. It'll allow you to visually see your stats in a list, makes it look nice, and also adds the ability to show this on your public stats page and, soon, allow it to be shown alongside the webring.

Just a little bit of Friday morning fun on tinylytics. I added some hover effects to the avatar upload 😋
If you're using uptime monitoring with tinylytics, I improved the way it handles re-checking your site when it goes down. It'll always check every 10 minutes, but now if it notices downtime, it'll check every 2 minutes. Once it's back up, it'll go back to 10.
