 * Did you not read the documentation from Google?
 * “It should be immediately before the `</body>` tag of your page.”

 * Yes, I did read the documentation and I have successfully installed the tracking
   code on my site’s html pages.
 * But where is the html page in my Word Press blog?

 * WordPress doesn’t have any HTML pages – it’s dynamic. Look in footer.php for 
   the closing `</body>` tag.

 * Thanks LenK. I put the code in the theme’s footer.php and now I’m waiting for
   data.

 * OMFG… I suck at PHP… and there is no closing body tag in my footer.php
    … … …
   heres whats in my footer.php… {{{{{{</div> <!– main END –>
 *  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <div class=”fixed”></div> </div> <!– content END –>
 * <?php include(‘templates/end.php’); ?>}}}}}}}}
    How confusing is that… I have
   to learn this chicken scratch? It seems more complex than c++…lol help, please
