This evening I thought it was about time I learned more about my blogs (all of which are wordpress).

Google says your supposed to put the tracking code before the </body> tag. But I couldn’t the darn tag in the wordpress templates!

So thanks to Make Money Fast, a blog that came up in my search for the answer, it turns out that you put the code in the footer template of your wordpress blog, again, just before the </body> tag. (This can be found in Presentation > Theme Editor)

To be fair, since it takes a day or two for GA to collect enough data, I’m not 100% sure it took yet. I’ll comment on this blog if it works!
