Adding Site Meter to WordPress

I posted about site trackers over a year ago, when this was a Blogger based blog. We moved to WordPress in Novembert 2005. I use Site Meter over at DIY Wireless Antenna. If you wanted to add site tracking to your WordPress blog, here is what you would do:

  1. Select the JavaScript code (containing your sitemeter id “site=yourid”) with your mouse.
  2. Copy it to the clipboard.
    (Press the CTRL key and the letter C at the same time.)
  3. Login to WordPress.
  4. Click on the Presentations tab.
  5. Click on the Theme Editor tab.
  6. In the dropdown list at the top of the page, select the theme that you want to edit.
  7. Click on the Sidebar Template theme file from the list on the right side of the page.
  8. Paste the Site Meter code before the closing tag at the bottom of that template.
    (Put the cursor in the field and then press the CTRL key and the letter V at the same time.).
  9. Press the Update File button and Site Meter should show up on the pages of your weblog in the side bar.
