 * I just downloaded and activated Google Analytics, followed the instructions for
   install/activate and got the following message:
 * Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 
   2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and 
   capabilities instead. in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/frescoFish/wp-includes/functions.
   php on line 3387
 * The message disappeared when I deactivated the plugin.
 * Suggestions?

 * That plug-in is likely not compatible with your version of WordPress – it says
   it works until 2.9.2.
 * You can either install another plug-in (I’ve heard good things about Google Analyticator)
   or simply add your GA tracking code manually in your header.php file, just before
   the closing </head> tag.
