 * Is this Google Analytics? There are plenty of plugins that will do that. If not
   you will have to add the code to the header.php or footer.php file in your theme.

   I add the code to the header.php or footer.php? I’m NEW @ this. Do I edit the“

 * It’s a widget code.

 * You might need to add that to the functions.php file in your theme.
 * Widgets are often installed by a theme or a plugin, have you contacted the author?

 * You can edit the theme using the Appearance/Editor item in the Admin, or using
   FTP. Be sure to back up your site before trying this.
 * I don’t recommend editing a theme directly on a production site. You should have
   a development site where you can try these things out and then copy the code 
   to production using FTP.
