   Does anyone know where I should place Google Analytics code? It's supposed to be posted right before the </body> tag which I can't seem to find.

   That should be in the footer (footer.php).

   Just to add: The footer of your active theme, not any ol' random file. :-)

   So check under wp-content/themes/YourThemeName/ for footer.php.

   Or just Presentation > Theme Editor > Footer. :o)

   I gave the footer a try and it didn't work, then I found these instructions from Google for a PHP site and it didn't work either?

   Not sure what to do.

   BTW...is WP static or dynamic PHP?

   I guess I'm impatient, I think the Google instructions worked. Basically you have to set up a separate analyticstracking.php file and link to it from the footer.

   Did you ever determine if WP is static or dynamic? I would think it's dynamic. Did you choose the dynamic or static code from Google to make GA work? Or does it matter?

   Thanks a lot,
