   pase a code in the page I want to track. I was going to try it out on the home

 * I used Google Analytics on a Joomla project. As far as I remember, all you do
   is paste the GoogleAnalytics Tracking Snippet in footer.php just before the closing`
   </body>` and `</html>` tags. That should be all.

 * When it comes to codes I get lost! Where do I find footer.php?

 * You can use this in your functions.php file:
 *     ```
       <?php
       add_action('wp_footer', 'add_googleanalytics');
       function add_googleanalytics() { ?>
       // Paste your Google Analytics code here
       <?php } ?>
       ```

 * Sorry for the like of technical skills but where do I find the functions.php 
   file? When found I presume you just paste it in?

 * mjw architects,
 * You can find the functions.php and footer.php under your activated themes folder
 *     ```
       wp-content\themes\<theme-folder-name>\functions.php
       wp-content\themes\<theme-folder-name>\footer.php
       ```
   
 * for example, default theme folder will be
 * `wp-content\themes\default\footer.php`
 * Thanks,

 * Go to Appearance/Editor in your admin panel, select the Footer template, and 
   paste the code somewhere above the `</body>` tag.
 * Or, use a plugin instead:
