This appliance failed after 18 months (just out of warranty) has now cost me over £350.00 on parts and labour, new "mother board" etc and the ice maker is still not working. I wrote a letter to the customer centre in August, no reply. It seems that they have lost their reputation for reliability prehaps as they now are not made in america for the european market (Italy??) we purchased an american style Whirlpool fridge freezer four years ago, V expensive, stupidly I did not take up the offer of a “parts” warranty as I had Whirlpool appliances in the middle east (freezers/washing machines/fridges) and in 20 years found them totally reliable.

Of course you should be able to see the file access in old fashioned web server logs but that isn't as convenient or as reliable as proper analytics. If the PDF file has been cached somewhere then you won't see any hit on your own server. What you really need to do is embed the javascript for Google Analytics within the PDF file, so when somebody opens the file it invokes GA to log it for you. I think this might be possible using something like <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html" rel="nofollow">javascript for acrobat</a> but I don't know. Also there may be security problems, it is one thing invoking javascript when browsing the web but quite another if a downloaded document does it to talk to a remote site every time you open a document. If somebody has a proper solution to this problem I'd love to see it. An interesting question, and I’m afraid I don’t know the answer.

I found them while trying to find information on exactly how no-frost systems work.I live in Spain and bought a Teka fridge/freezer three weeks ago. Almost immediately the freezer temperature would increase to about -12º daily, then return to -18º and on one occasion the fridge increased to 15º (almost room temperature!) The engineer is calling on Tuesday, and no doubt will tell me it is normal! The freezer isn't so bad, as the temperature is still well below freezing, but what about the fridge and items which ought to be kept at 5º? I think I might give your engineer a call -I hope he won't mind. It is dificult to find any kind of knowledgable professionals over here - of any nationality! Best regards, Brenda Hi,

I would edit the <code>pageTracker._trackPageview(’www.leehughes.co.uk/feed.xml’)</code> to just say <code>pageTracker._trackPageview(’/feed.xml’)</code> And I would move the google analytics code to just under the opening body tag, for this purpose it needs to be above where you call it. Don't duplicate the code, just move it, it should still work ok. That is one major expedition you have planned, good luck! A late edit to answer the rest of your questions; To view your stats go into Google Analytics and drill down from Content Overview (click on <em>view report</em>) you should find an entry for /feed.xml which will show you how many people clicked on your RSS button. You can add the javascript call to any link but don't add it to anything where the destination already has the google analytics code in it or you will be double counting. It is best reserved for links where you can't include google analytics code in the destination file, that is external links or links to things like xml and pdf files. Hi Lee,
