John, very useful. Strange things occurring though…. as I go back into the ‘edit html tab’ (after I’ve saved, logged out, and come back in) the java code disappears.
Am I the only one having this problem?

This was was much easier than how I did it (through the custom template code)

Hey John Thanks!
One my tumblr sites is #12 on the Google list of my two word phase —
Now to tweak it and make some money! This one took 9 hours to get listed,

Glad you guys liked the video. If I can manage to stay awake, theres a part 2 coming tonight.
@Shamir - Try making sure that FILTER HTML is CHECKED in your settings. I will mention this in tonights video.

“My window is smaller than normal”… Yeah, yeah, the lesson is to film in a warm room to avoid embarrassment.

Please help… this is what i see after i do what you suggest… my description is not empty, it has the following text: _uacct = “UA-2436541-3″; urchinTracker();
August 18th, 2007 at 8:14 am
You have a real gift for teaching. Everything was clear, concise, and effective. Thanks so much.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Thanks!

If you get : the following text: _uacct = “UA-2436541-3″; urchinTracker();
make sure that FILTER HTML is CHECKED in your settings at the bottom of the page before adding the script. I had the same problem until I checked the box. Be sure to go into the HTML Description box and delete the bad code. Checkmark the Filter HTML box, update. Then add the code script again.
Life’s a journey for some of us…

Is the script suppose to show up in the Description box when HTML button is clicked. If so, mine is disappearing. And Google claims tracking isn’t installed. AAAGH!
August 18th, 2007 at 3:43 pm
My pop-up blocker may be to blame. I finally got to Waiting for data stage. Yeah!
August 18th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
Another great video, John. Thank you so much.

My brain cells are waking up slowly today. Must had been because of RR on Friday.
A cup of green tea may work wonders right now.

OOOOpsss! When I did all of that and came back into the Google Analytics. Then I clicked on Check Status
It said that it has not seen the connection to my site.
I went back to Tumblr and re did the adding of the text to the HTML site and it looks good in the page. I saved and saved and went back a second time to the analytic page to check the status… Nothing happened. It does not see that I added the HTML stuff to the tumbler site.
What can I do?
August 24th, 2007 at 10:04 am
I’m now set up in Tumblr, and the Google Analytics works, but I can’t seem to get my Google adsense codes to work. Any thoughts on where I may be going wrong there?
I would also like to know how to set up Google Analytics in the TDC blog that I started. I feel dumber than a bag of rocks that I can’t figure this stuff out by myself.
Thanks for any help you can pass on.

Tumblr has since been updated as well as the Google analytics code. I’ve tried doing exactly what the tutorial told me to, I even inserted the code in the body as Google tells you to and nothing works. Do new users just have to use another site tracker?
