 * Hi
    I am new to WordPress and I am trying to add Google Analytics to my website,
   however, not sure where to add it. This is the information that I have been given:
   Copy the following code, then paste it onto every page you want to track immediately
   before the closing </head> tag.
 * <script type=”text/javascript”>
 *  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-22510927-1’]); _gaq.push([‘
   _trackPageview’]);
 *  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’;
   ga.async = true; ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘[https://ssl&#8217](https://ssl&#8217);:‘
   [http://www&#8217](http://www&#8217);) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’; var s
   = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);})();
 * </script>
 * I have tried to open the source page of the website, but I couldn’t seem to add
   any information into it.
 * Could someone please assist as I would like to get this working properly.
 * Thanks

 * There is actually a plug-in you can use on your blog called Google Analytics 
   for WordPress, i use it on my website and it works a treat. Hope that helped.
 * Cheers
