    I recently started a Google Analytics account. They gave me a tracking code, but I'm not sure where to post it. Their instructions were not specific enough. Can anyone help a non tech savvy brother out?

    You can put it anywhere in the HTML of your website. Most people place it anywhere between the <head> and </head> tags near the top.

    I think I found the problem, I used a template on blogger and so it doesn't give me access to HTML. Do you know if there's any way around this, or do I have to pick between a pre-made template or being able to track hits with the code?

    I think you should place it just before </body>. So that the script loads last without preventing your content loads.

    if your using wordpress, place it between the <head></head> files in header.php

    if your using static website well do the same thing except place the code in the index.html

    This may be your best bet if you don't want to mess up the header and footer of the blog
