I love BlogEngine. But from what I can se it does not collect the standard information about the visitors I would like to see (referrer, browser-type and so on). When I log in as Admin I have a menu item named "Referrer". I can choose a weekday and then I'll be presented with 1 or 2 rows with "google.com 4 hits, "itmaskinen.se 6 hits...

Or maybe there is a way to programmatically recuperate this kind of information? ...
Question How can you determine if a user is unique or not? I understand there are many ways to do this using cookies, but what about methods that don't use cookies? For example, go to Urban Dictionary and click one of the up/down vote buttons. Even if you delete your cookies and come back to the page, you will not be allowed to cast a...

I'm going to create a view counter for articles. I have some questions: Should I ignore article's author when he opens the article? I don't want to update database each time. I can store in a Dictionary<int, int> (articleId, viewCount) how many times each article was viewed. After 100 hits I can update the database. I should only coun...
