1. fork this val

2. initialize the database tables

   • the tables should initialize automatically when you first run this val
   • if you need to manually initialize, you can call the initAnalytics() function from the webAnalyticsMod

3. configure mySitesConfig

   • find the mySitesConfig object
   • update the fields with your information
   • make sure to add the URLs of the sites you want to track to the allowedOrigins field

4. add the tracking script to your sites

   • place the following script tag just before the closing </body> tag of each site you want to track

   <script>
     (function() {
       var script = document.createElement('script');
       script.async = true;
       script.src = 'https://<your-username>-mysitesserver.web.val.run/trackingScript';
       var firstScript = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
       firstScript.parentNode.insertBefore(script, firstScript);
     })();
   </script>

   • make sure to replace <your-username> with your Val Town username
   • here's the script in my personal site
