Wonderful tutorial! Do you need to reinstall Analytics if you move from a blogspot.com address to your own domain name?
Hey Amanda! Nope, the HTML isn’t altered at all after a domain transfer. But if for some reason you ever accidentally remove your Analytics, I have a tutorial for that over at Designer Blogs: http://www.blog.designerblogs.com/2011/06/tutorial-reinstalling-google-analytics.html
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to install this but did not know how.

Especially if the blog is very well known
