Google Webmaster Tools
Log in to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ with your Google account.
Enter your blog address (without http:// or https:// in front)
Click the Add a Site button
You will be presented with several verification methods. Choose the Alternate Methods tab.
Select the option: Add a meta tag to your site’s home page
Copy the content value of the meta tag. The content will appear like this:

Copy the content value by itself. In the example above, you will only copy: dBw5CvburAxi537Rp9qi5uG2174Vb6JwH

Why can’t you add Google Analytics to a blog? What is the reasoning? I have an instructor who has done so, (we did it in a class) is this a recent change??
