  Is there a way to install Google Analytics code on the home page of my wordpress blog? If not, is there tracking software that WordPress has that can do similar things to Google Analytics?

  Is your blog hosted at wordpress.com?

  If not, please ask at http://wordpress.org/support/

  This is the blog you are talking about, correct? http://curtiscunninghamphotistry.wordpress.com/

  Google analytics is already used on our blogs by WordPress which means we cannot use it individually (some sort of licensing thingy). In addition, GA requires javascript, and we cannot use javascript due to security concerns.

  Javascript – can I use that on my blog?

  Oh, I registered with Google Analytics and they gave me a a code to paste onto the page, but where should I paste it? Or are you saying we can’t have that at all?

  Unfortunately.

  I keep hoping if I’m a really, really good girl Santa will bring me as much stats info on my blogs as WordPress.com has. But that would be off in the future, I’m sure.

  That’s too bad.

  But could it be a possibility to ask wordpress.com to support Google Analytics only?

  You could ask, but the answer will be no. They already have google analytics running on our blogs; why they don’t simply pass that info on to us I do not know, but they don’t.

  They might not pass it on, because it would contain AdSense stats, too. I’m pretty sure that Google Analytics also monitors AdSense, so it would be more visible to bloggers that might see WP.com is making money from their blogs and upset the community base, etc.
