Analytics pageview count never increments even as comment count increases #20

The pageview counter shows no activity, even when there are user comments (correctly) incrementing. Tried with different sources but no change.

Ah yes, I disabled this logging because every single page hit would add another entry to the table and it would fill up the small free heroku database quite quickly, I will add a checkbox to enable/disable pageview logging

Okay, I've added an environment variable in the latest commit (071b967) to allow this to be turned on! You just need to set e.g.

$ export COMMENTO_ENABLE_LOGGING=true

before commento starts to enable logging.

Would recommend using a separate fully-featured analytics package for better analysis/insights/data management but you can use the one built in to commento now too :)
