 * First I don’t know what I am doing my first webdesign was in dreamweaver and 
   getting all the seo and stuf line out never really happened. I was told I needed
   to use wordpress and so I have started the process. I installed the plugin on
   my site which is new I am using the striking theme and other than that I don’t
   know when I try to activate the plugin I get the following message. Unfortunately,
   an error occurred while connecting to Google, please try again. I read another
   post that said something about doing things manually well if I knew something
   about that I would not need the plug probably. I am totally in the dark with 
   wordpress and to tell the truth other than those educated in it I think most 
   of us just have to feel our way through since video tutorials and books are a
   joke. Anyway any help would be appreciated.

 * I think you’re not lucky because Google Analytics has some problems today : [http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/analytics/report-bugs](http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/analytics/report-bugs)
 * Personally I have about 0 visits for the last 3 hours in my account but the site
   is working, and realtime tracking is good.
