  Where to place Google Analytics code on a wordpress.com blog, seeing though we don’t have plugin option with the mysite.wordpress.com blogs…

  I tried on blogs P2 theme header – though it the code only comes up as text, and ofcourse is visible to visitors.

  Any ideas where I’d be able to place the code so it grabs analytics from each page?

  FYI – No footer option with this free P2 blog theme (from what I can see)

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

  Can I use Google Analytics?
  No, Google Analytics cannot be used on WordPress.com blogs at this time. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info

  Note: There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. To have plugins and Google Analytics you need to hire a web host and set up your own self hosted WordPress.org install. See here for a comparison. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
