    Go to "Appearance" from Wordpress dashboard. Chose the last option "Editor". Find the "Header.PHP" file from the heap. Open the file. From keyboard press ctrl+F
    Type: </head> paste the Google Analytics code and save the file.

    Alternatively, go to "FOOTER.PHP" and paste the code before </body>

    header.php and footer.php files are conventional in any wordpress theme. So heck at all.

    Not a good idea to use a wp plugin always. :)
