Here I’ll show you how to add Google Analytics to your WordPress blog.

• Login to your WordPress Admin
• Under “Appearance” (on the left side) select “Editor”
• If you have a custom template you will be using index.php otherwise you will be using footer.php.
• ** IMPORTANT** If you were given a choice when you signed up for a Google Analytics account to choose between the new tracking code (ga.js) or the old tracking code (urchin.js) choose the new tracking code.
• Immediately before the </body> tag paste your Google Analytics code. 
• Click “Update File”
• I suggest you now go to Google Analytics and check next to your blog’s URL. Hopefully you will see “Gathering Data” and you’ll know you were successful. If you see “Tracking Not Installed” try it again.

Good luck. That’s all folks!
