  Hi all,

  I’ve been loosing hairs for a few hours trying to do something pretty simple: finding the **** footer.php files on my wordpress blog. My template is Black Letterhead. The aim is to install Google Analytics on it, and to do so I need to past some code in this file.

  I am well aware of the following:

  1- Appearence —-> Editor is the place where you would USUALLY find it. For some weird reasons, its is NOT available on this template. So I can’t get it fromt here.

  2- Some pluggins exist (like tantan), but they STILL require you to access this file.

  So, just to make things clear: I have a pretty good idea of what I need to do to install google analytics (eg copy the **** code in my footer.php file). My problem is getting that file!

  P-S: Oh, I don’t know if it’s relevent, but I paid for the CSS upgrade. I there a place in the CSS code where I can past the code? As far as I know, that’s not going to work, but if you know better, you are most welcomed to enlighten me!

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

  We can’t use Google analytics on WordPress.com blogs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info

  We can’t use plugins on WordPress.com blogs

  Perhaps it would help to take a few minutes and understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can’t change code here, Google Analytics can’t be installed, you can’t edit the php files, CSS changes the looks not the functionality, you can’t do Plug-in’s here either.

  All of this relates to security issues.
