  Can someone please advise on how to add Statcounter analytics to a wordpress blog please? I have tried following instructions, advised to use plug in. Do I need to upgrade or is there a way to enter the HTML or codes?
  Many thanks

  You can use the built-in the Blog Stats widget.

  We cannot use any JavaScript code on WordPress.COM blogs for security reasons. You must create a new statcounter project, choosing the “HTML only” counter and place it in the text widget.

  Many thanks, the blog stats is too basic for what is required. timethief I have attempted to add the HTML by doing the following: my site, appearance, widgets, text. Unfortunately it still isn’t working. Apologies in advance, but may I ask for your guidance to place the HTML in the correct area, many thanks
