 * I would like to make statisctics on my site. What would you advise me? [What do you think about this?](http://randypeterman.com/StatTraq/index.php)
 * Anyway how do these statistics work? I mean where can i watch the stats? Are 
   they inside the wp admin interface or what?

 * StatTraq is an option, but requires some hacks to get it working in WP v1.5. 
   BAStats is also an option, but it’s in beta. Another option would be ShortStat,
   it’s PHP-based and can track any page you stick it’s code on, but it’s a bit 
   more difficult to setup than the other two.

 * Two other options would be the two leading free web-based trackers. Those would
   be StatCounter: [http://www.statcounter.com/](http://www.statcounter.com/) and
   SiteMeter: [http://www.sitemeter.com/](http://www.sitemeter.com/)
 * As for me, I used SiteMeter, made the switch to StatCounter because they offered
   an invisible tracker, and I am currently switching from that to ShortStat.

 * I signed up for StatCounter, and they gave me their code segment that I’m supposed
   to paste into my site.
 * So I went to my Site Admin –> Presentation –> Theme Editor
    And now it shows 
   me a list of files: Stylesheet, Category Template, Contents Template…etc, etc.
 * Which file am I supposed to paste my StatCounter code into? Is it the Stylesheet,
   the Main Template, the Page Template, or something else?
 * Also can you tell me where within that file I should paste my StatCounter code
   into?

 * I would post it in the Footer file, right at the end of whatever displayed text
   is in there.

 * Wow, thanks! You may want to give him a normal nickname, though. “MacManX” might
   be an odd name to go through grade school with.
