Thank you so much for this! This is the clearest, easiest and most accessible (not to mention shortest) explanation on how to do this that I’ve found on the Web. Didn’t want to install a plug-in, and definitely didn’t want to sign up for some workshop just to do this! (And yeah, someone is actually hawking a workshop on this.) Awesome job!

Salut,
Marjorie

Kinda funny. I just did this. I was looking around in the files and found the footer. Said Hmm wonder if I could put my analytics code there? Did it – and tonight I decided to research it. Guess I put it in the right place. Thanks for the affirmation.

This is awesome, thank you! It only took 5 minutes and no plugin. I’m new to WordPress and was nervous to try this, but it worked great!!!

@CraigB: Glad you found it useful. I guess the definition of “simple” is relative!

Okay, so now I am confused. If it is this simple, why are there plugins for this? I was about to install a plugin but came across this post instead…this seems a lot easier. thanks!
