 * Where do I paste the Google Analytics code? And on what page? I just want to 
   track my index(first) page for now.

 * Well I have developed a plugin called [ Google Analyticator](http://cavemonkey50.com/code/google-analyticator/),
   which will automatically add the necessary code to track your site. At the moment
   it track every page, and not just the index.
 * Now if you’re inserting your code manually it depends on your theme. What’s your
   theme?

 * You know forget it that is what I want baby. How come the boys here at wordpress
   haven’t added it to the website. I searched and only one hit came up about Google
   Analytics.
    Thanks

 * I put this plug-in on my site (thanks for making this easy!!) and I added my 
   uaccount info but if I do a View Source on my main page I don’t see the code?
   Will I see it? Just curious. Google says they don’t see the code on my site but
   then I have also heard that google says that function on their site isn’t 100%
   yet.

 * I did this plugin, but google wont verify it:
    Profile Name: whootah.com Website
   URL: [http://whootah.com](http://whootah.com)
 * Tracking Unknown
    The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on
   your website’s home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator
   must add the code to each page of your website.

 * Your site looks like it’s setup correctly, you just need to give google some 
   time. I just left my changes in there and eventually (I checked about 8 hours
   later), google figured it out.

 * It took about 24 hours for them to check mine (poor documentation on Google’s
   part) but it only checks about every 24hrs, too. I still like [http://www.statcounter.com](http://www.statcounter.com)
   for more instant results but I’ll give it time to build up a record of visits
   before making final judgment.

 * Do you guys see a breakdown of your pages content too?
    I only see the wordpress
   main url when I check about the content. No listing of special named pages or
   menupoints.

 * If you’re talking about on Google Analytic’s content page, I do see other pages
   besides my main URL.

 * I downloaded your plugin now, cavemonkey.
    I will see if it changed something
   tomorrow 🙂
