  I am currently in process, about half way done, of moving from Movable Type 3.2 to WordPress. It’s been a breeze so far!

  In my Movable Type 3.2 blog, I used, (more for information, rather than deep tracking!) web site traffic meter sites such as Statcounter and Goolge Analytics.

  Can these be used with my WordPress Blog? A code needs to be inserted for these sites to track the hits/traffic etc. Where would this code go?

  Google Analytics is already running on our blogs, but you can add the HTML for Statcounter to a text widget in your sidebar (you can’t use javascript here for security reasons).

  Thanks Judy and TimeThief.
  Info and links pretty useful.
  I’ll go and mull these over and then come back with more questions!
