  I watched several YouTube videos on how to add my GA information to my WordPress blog. I don’t have access to what they are showing me, however, such as ‘Themes’, ‘Editor’,…..or….’Settings’, ‘Anayltics’. I have just created a GA account and have the code, don’t know where to go on the backend of my WP site to put it. Also, I want it on every blog post not just the home page. Please help and thank you :) I searched this forum and again, the suggestions aren’t things I am able to do in my backend of my site.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Do you have wordpress.com business acct. ? If so you can add the Analytics tracking code by going to admin page, settings tab & click on Google Analytics, then once in put the tracking code where it tells you & save. If its a free acct. I don’t think you can.

  I have a free account because it’s just me and my mom who reads it right now lol. But that would explain the restriction. Thanks ldrummer. With those YouTube videos mentioned that detail……

  Yea if you go to the dashboard page & then lick on upgrade under the 3 types of plans there’s a small blue tab that says compare & click on that & it will show you what each plan has. I have the Business acct. but even w/ it I can use Google adsense because I would have to migrate my site to another host even though it would still be w/ WordPress i would no longer have a WP.com site but instead a WP.org then I could do anything I wanted. it’s not very much more to do that once you have the Business plan.

  you have a nice site. I have a Sports Blog. I have fun w/ it & its a cool way to throw in my two cents worth on Sports topics lol. I upgraded to Business from the premium plan mainly because w/ the B plan you get unlimited space & that way I don’t have to trash my older articles due to lack of space. my site is whatsonyoursportsmind.com

  that’s a good point re:space. I just started using Flickr to embed images to get around some space issues. Night!
