Hello all!
I realized something terrible awful the other day!
Google has been tracking ME on my website *Dun Dun Duuun*

Not to infer that google was tracking me before. I know all about IP addresses and such.
Here's what happened:
When I first started this website, two months ago, I was using my husbands 7 year old laptop.. Obviously this archaic laptop (That I was very thankful for!) had an IP 4 address, So I learned how to stop google from tracking me..
We've recently been blessed financially and were able to buy a brand new computer! Gosh! Right away I put my new (crazy looking) IPv6 address into google analytics, only to realize two weeks later that I was still being tracked!
As it turns out, IPv6 changes daily *Hangs head in defeat* but oh well! I'll just ignore that hunk of data and change my filter daily!
