    I have this code for Google Analytics tracking:

    <script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try{
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
</script>

    -instructions (https://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55488&hl=en_US&utm_id=ad) say to place the above code directly before the </body> tag.

    one problem...where is the <body> & </body> tags in WP?????

    Any advice?
    Thanks!

    Check your theme's footer.php. If it's not there, then look in the other theme files.

    <body> is going to be in header.php, </body> is going to be in footer.php, both files are in your theme directory: wp-content/themes/
