  I was hoping to use a code snippet from mediacreeper.com for various reasons, but I can’t figure out how to insert it anywhere in my blog.

  Any ideas?

  The code is as follows:
  <!– Begin MediaCreeper tracker code –><img src=”http://mediacreeper.com/image” alt=”MediaCreeper” onerror=”this.src=’http://mediacreeper.se/image’;” style=”width: 80px;height: 15px;border: 0px;”/><!– End MediaCreeper tracker code –>

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

  That type of code is not allowed on WordPress.com sites, for security reasons:

  Or you can use sitemeter or other non-JavaScript third party stats trackers listed here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/category/visitor-tracking/

  I have tried out many third party trackers. I have used sitemeter on my own blogs for years longer that WordPress.COM has had their own stats. ;)

  That code is only to see which Swedish media has visited my blog, and I got it sorted out through using a text widget.

  Thanks for all your help. :)
