    I have two blogger blogs and I have installed the code, but cant seem to get it to work. Any ideas. I posted it, but this new designer feature that blogger has I think its messing it up.

    Any suggestions. Analytics was working until about 3 days ago and since then 0 visitors but, I know people have gone to my site...I went to my site.

    I need help!

    My site is http://moneyincrease.info and
    insuranceplansforyou.blogspot.com/ <-----not finished yet...still have to add a few more pages.

    Thank you

    Ill give access to anyone who thinks that they can do this for me....then Ill write an article for you

    Please help!

    All I do is go under the "design" tab and click on "Add a Gadget" then on the "HTML/JavaScript" gadget and then just paste the code from Analytics into the "content" box and click "save". I then drag the new gadget to the bottom of the page and click "save" for the page layout.

    Oops, almost forgot the new design feature requires you to put something in the "title" box for the "HTML/JavaScript" gadget. Before you just left it blank and it would be an untitled gadget that only showed up on your layout page. Not sure why the new one won't let you do this?

    Anyways after I paste the Analytics code into the "content" box, I just put the letter "a" in for the "title". It shows up on the page but if you place the gadget at the bottom, all you see is a little letter "a" in the bottom left corner of your page. Hope that helps?

    The only other option I can see is to grab some old template code and paste it into the "Edit HTML" window to use the old layout.

    please note that Google recommends Analytics code to be palced within the <head> </head> tags of the page and not at the end of the page

    You are absolutely correct. however, it is recommended that you should use the analytics code at the end of the </body> tag. The reason is quite simple, if you add analytic code in the very start of code, then it will show you stats of the visits, those have not opened the website fully and skipped the page in between.

    if you changed your blog design then the code will be replaced so you have to again put GA code in your blog and code should be placed at bottem of the page but before the </body> tag
