Thumbs up Google Analytics - Adding Notes to Graphs Etc..

Does anyone know if its possible to add notes to your analytics account?

What I mean is lets say I have a huge traffic spike and I want to add a comment to it, so in a years time I can reflect and see certain notes on traffic trends or lets say particular articles I wrote that attracted good traffic?

Maybe a better example would be:
My blog redesign attracted a huge spike in traffic compared with my normal daily traffic, if I could tag that spike as (blog redesign), I or anyone else viewing the stats would understand why the spike occured.

Another webstats package I use, has this feature so I'd be surprised if its missing in Analytics, but I guess you never know.

Slightly off topic, but could we perhaps get an Analytics section in the forum?
While it could go under online marketing, I think a dedicated section would be a good idea, what do others think?

it's a good idea, and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to implement, why don't you try to send them a feedback email ?

Default might do that.

Yeah I might do that. I just thought it was already available in Analytics and I went blind and couldn't see it.

Do they have any form of API with Analytics?

Default Not sure.

Not that I'm aware of. But then again I don't really use many of the API's.

currently they don't have an api
Is there a Google Analytics API?

but some guy has released some bits of code to interact with it
