Or, and I know this is almost heresy here, but why not just leave off analytics? This is essentially a static page with text and images. What on earth are you analyzing? Why do you need to collect any data at all?

Vanity (in my experience). Though I don't know why web server logs aren't enough for that.

Engagement duration tracking is probably the most important thing client-side analytics brings for a site that's trying to make money, but for a personal site, seems unnecessary.
