Joost released a WordPress plugin for Google Analytics that adds a tracking code and dozens of various pieces of meta data to blogs. Since the release of version 4, he has updated it 6 times, to the point where it’s now at version 4.0.6. In this article: Lessons Learned From Maintaining a WordPress Plug-In, he would like to share with you his experiences in maintaining this and other WordPress plug-ins and common good practices that he has distilled from that work.

The updates that Joost released had a couple of purposes, ranging from bug fixes to new features and fixes in documentation. While all of these are nice to talk about, the bug fixes are the ones you’ll learn the most from.

I am using Joost de Valk’s WordPress plugin for Google Analytics and it’s really great. Also, it’s a great article. I like the conclusion part, the very last part which says never assume. It can be applied in real life too, it is truly best to always work on facts, hard facts.
