Just got around to implementing Google Analytics to this site. I'm now testing it. Hope it works.
Update 1: The instruction said to paste the tracking code on every page I want tracked. That's too much work. So I look inside my templates and pasted the code in the Main Index page. Failed
Update 2: Searched the web for specific help on implementing GA in Movable Type. Several MT users wrote to paste the tracking code in the Footer template in MT. Nice. I looked in my templates and found no Footer. Perhaps MT 5 omitted it? Failed.
Update 3: The other tip I found was to create a Widget for the GA code, then add the widget to the Footer template, OR, any template that's integrated into all blog pages. Ah, so that's the key. I looked over my site and found one element in common--The "POWERED BY MOVABLE TYPE" logo at the bottom of every page. I found the "Powered By" widget template and pasted the tracking code inside. Alas, the pasted code didn't stick. Failed.
For now, I am going to do as Google instructed, just paste the code under each page, until I find a better way.
