Sign up Google – sign up for Google Analytics!
Welcome to Blog Section #11 Google – Topic 1 Sign up Google Analytics! Before we can use some different Google tools to help our blog, we first need to sign up. To make the next blogs go easier, we are going to use the first two blogs in this Section to sign up with different Google tools.
First, you need a Google account. So, if you do not have a Google account, let’s go get one. You need this one first before you can get the other ones.
Now, we are going to sign up for Google Analytics. This will be (3) individual phases.
The requirement is to copy the code that you just copied in step 9 above to WordPress. These instructions are for the Genesis/Prose theme. If you have a different theme, the underlying steps are still relevant.
