    login to admin on wordpress go to design on the menu and then theme editor on the sub menu.

    open footer.php on the right menu and insert just above the </body> tag in footer.php

    I think I should point out that if your blog is hosted on wordpress you cant install Google analytics - but wordpress does have its own visitors tracking stats which are useful

    Is this true ? I thought you could add it to the footer.php like it has been suggested.

    If you mean self hosted wordpress, then just put it in the footer before the end of the </body> tag, but if it is hosted on wordpress.com then you are not allowed to mess with it.

    Yes, Correct. wordpress.com is giving webtraffic details.Then no need to add analytics code.
