 * I’d like to add a bit of javascript to my blog so I can track traffic. What file
   do I need to edit in order to add this JS?
 * Thanks!

 * You can most likely put it in your footer.php

 * I found a file called admin-footer.php….is that the one you are referring to?
   I added the JS, refreshed my blog and looked at the source but it did not show
   up. In fact, looking at the blog footer and the text within admin-footer.php 
   and they don’t match. Am I missing something?

 * Where are you looking for the file? You should be looking inside the folder with
   all the files for your theme.

 * Yeah looks like you were in the wp-admin folder. Go up a level and go into wp-
   content, then “themes” then into the folder of the theme you’re running. Look
   for footer.php
