 * In the source code, the analytics tracking code is tied to admin_head action,
   not wp_head action, so it shows up only in the admin side of things.
 * I would assume you’d want to ONLY track non-admin visits.
 * Also, there should be a note that in the Google Analytics tracking code, you 
   want to paste the entire <script>…</script> block provided by Google, not just
   the UA-XXXXXX-X code.

 * i’ve had to change line 25 to
    add_action(‘wp_head’, array(&$this, ‘ws_add_js_scripts’),
   5); an now it works fine

 * journeyman_73 saves the day! That solution worked for me as well, and the GA 
   code snippet now shows up in my web pages.

 * If you add this code:
    add_action(‘wp_head’, array(&$this, ‘ws_add_js_scripts’),
   5); What’s the matter when you update the theme?
