    Hi. I recently made some updates to my blog. In doing so I lost some 'head' code, including the analytics tag.
    I've retrieved it & pasted it back in, but not working - not shown as present in the icon on bottom right of pc screen & in analytics nothing recorded since my error.

    <head>
    <meta content='3DmBgYaggCK8Uip9BmUGjqAN++MTHZBBtOYJujSJrK4=' name='verify-v1'/>
    <title>Volvo 240 Volvo 480 Volvo 850 Touring in Brittany</title>

    First two lines of my blogs code.

    Any ideas as to how I've 'broken' it?

    Hi exactly as shown in my first post directly below the <head> & above title. Which is where it was before I 'broke' it & where it is in my main site's code?

    It is still not working, no info in analytics, (despite analytics saying it is verified) & the analytics icon (low right on screen) is not illuminated when viewing my blog (not the site in my sig).

    Thanks

    Okay, after a lot of hunting around my webmaster account (is it just me who finds it difficult?). I found that I'd somehow re-verified it along the way some 4 days ago with this tag:
    <meta name="google-site-verification" content="AATXpgFmHp9MwguL0ig76F2MI90rb2W91TN8lnUhjIU" />

    Which is majorly different to the (old?) one I had in my code - as per post #1! I've pasted in the one above now. Just got to see if it picks it up now.............

    Have been trying again on this issue. Searched around my analytics account (again) to re-confirm I had the right code in my html, as analytics was still not working. This time it gave me this code to paste in:
    <script type='text/javascript'>

    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push([&#39;_setAccount&#39;, &#39;UA-1578526-2&#39;]);
    _gaq.push([&#39;_trackPageview&#39;]);

    (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement(&#39;script&#39;); ga.type = &#39;text/javascript&#39;; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = (&#39;https:&#39; == document.location.protocol ? &#39;https://ssl&#39; : &#39;http://www&#39;) + &#39;.google-analytics.com/ga.js&#39;;
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName(&#39;script&#39;)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
    })();

    </script>
    Also said to place it just above the closing head tag. Much different to the ons in post #4!
    I've done this & it is sort of working after about an hour. At present I load my blog & the 'analytics installed' icon flashes 'on' then 'off'. If I press the refresh button it lights up to confirm it is installed. Hoping it 'settles down'.
