  Hi,

  I’d like to use Google Analytics on my wordpress.com blog. Can someone please tell me how I can insert the tracking ID?

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

  P.S. This has nothing whatsoever to do with CSS editing.

  Well, there is a workaround if you want to pay for Cloudflare protection but it’s expensive and interferes with the way your blog is indexed by search engines, if I recall correctly.

  Thanks raincoaster, but my wages probably won’t cover it and the millions of other things I want to do :(
