Shaun Inman has finally released Mint, a powerful site statistics system. “Mint provides a fresh look at your site. It is concise, flexible and timely. And to sweeten the deal, this delicious little bundle of PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript joy is referrer-spam-proof.” If you liked ShortStat, you’ll love Mint. And, don’t let the price scare you away. Mint’s expandability, via the plugin API (“Pepper”), is enough to make it worth at least $30, and possibly more than that in the future.

If you are having trouble getting the local search plugin to work with your WordPress installation, Michael has posted a screenshot of the correct settings for a default WordPress installation.
