Have you experienced the same? From my personal experience after using both: Sitemeter scripts are slow and increase your page load time, whereas the Google Analytics script is fast!

I forgot to check the date! Can you tell me then, since you're using Google, how you can arrange the settings to ignore your own visits to your blog? Thanks for any information you can provide.

Can you tell me then, since you’re using Google, how you can arrange the settings to ignore your own visits to your blog?

I'm leery of Analytics, however, because I can't figure out how to get it to ignore my own visits to the blog whereas Site Meter makes that easy. Do you know of an easy way to get Analytics to ignore my own visits? If I'm reading your article correctly, you're saying you're sticking with Site Meter. Is that the case?
