How to Set Up Google Analytics on Blogger

Several friends have asked for help with this lately, so here is the short of the long of it:

1. Create a Google account here. Or, use a Gmail account that you have already created.
2. Navigate to google.com/analytics. Click on "Sign Up".
3. Enter your website's URL. Pick a name (just use your website name). Enter territory and timezone.
4. Enter contact info.
5. Accept user agreement.
6. Add tracking info. This can be slightly tricky. By now, you should see a panel of code with a bunch of greater than and less than tags. Copy ALL this code using your command+C key.
7. Navigate to Blogger. Login. Click on "Layout". Scroll to bottom of screen and click the bottom "Add a Gadget". Click on the gadget that says "HTML/Javascript". Don't enter a title. In the text box below the title line, command+paste the code you just copied. Click save.
8. You're done. If you click back over to your Google Analytics page, you should a green check mark in the "status" column within a few hours (or a day at max). It is important to remember that Google Analytics has a 24 hour delay, but you'll figure that out pretty quickly.
