Overwhelmed!
I’m so tired! There are so many things to do but I only have two hands to do it. I’m dead beat tired and it’s already in the wee hours of the morning but I don’t have the liberty to sleep – gotta finish my transcription first. It doesn’t help that I’ve been transcribing for more than twelve hours now! Whew! My hands are aching but I can’t stop typing. My mind is already wandering that’s why this blog post. Aargh! Bye now – didn’t I tell you I was B-U-S-Y?!
How to Add Google Analytics to your Wordpress Blog
Google Analytics is a helpful tool for website owners and bloggers to track the visitors of their websites. I’ve just finished installing Google Analytics in my Wordpress blog and it is so easy. Here’s how:
1. Sign up for an account at Google Analytics or you can sign in with your existing Google account.
2. Enter the information required from your website.
3. You will then be asked to copy a tracking code to your blog but it will be easier if you download Google Analytics for Wordpress plugin. It is in .zip format and there’s no need to extract it, you can upload it just like that.
4. Sign in to your wordpress account, click on Plugin, then click on Add New.
5. Find Install a plugin in .zip format, click on browse, and upload the plugin.
6. Check your Wordpress Dashboard if it has been installed. If yes, click on Google Analytics in your Dashboard under Plugins and you will be able to configure your plugin. You need to add Analytics User Account before it will work.
7. To find the Analytics User Account, go to your Google Analytics Overview page and under Website Profiles you can see your blog name there’s a number that starts with UA. That’s your Analytics User Account. Just copy and paste.
8. To find if the plugin has been installed properly, refresh your Google Analytics Overview page. The status should display a clock icon which means it has been installed. You have to wait 24 hours to get some data.
Hope this helps. At first I just wanted to copy and paste the code myself to my template but after 30 minutes of searching where to find the (/body) tag in my template (I just switched to Wordpress and switched from free host to paid host so I’m still not familiar with the cPanel and stuff) I still can’t find it. Good thing I found this Google Analytics Plugin and it was so much easier to install.

Electric Bill Shock
We have not turned on our AC unit for a while and S is thinking of putting it back in the box. I don’t want him to because I know summer is only a few months away and it it’s as hot as it’s as cold right now, then we’ll certainly be fried up here in our apartment. So for now, I’m enjoying this cool weather. It almost feels like I’m having a vacation in Baguio especially at night!
Our Very Own Shih Tzu
His name is Chewie. We just got him last 4th of January as an early present for our son. It was not planned at all and we were so hesitant to get him but he was being sold by the side of the road. We were inside the tricycle and I suddenly asked the driver to stop. We got out and there were only two puppies left. To make a long story short, we went home with a two-month old puppy that afternoon. We have no dog food and the owner was kind enough to give us some. He even sold us his dog cage for a low price just so we can take him home. The first night we weren’t able to sleep because of his constant barking. Upon further research, I was already fearful we got the wrong dog. The other pup we left behind was less active than him and I thought he would be more even-tempered. But now that we have him for four days already, I discovered that he’s such a great dog. He only barks when it’s time to poo and nothing else. He would stay quietly inside his crate and would not even bark to ask for food. He’s not meek though because when we oOn his third day with us, we were able to leave him behind. It’s still not a smooth ride because I’m still having some difficulty in housetraining him but since he tells me when he’s about to I’m sure he’ll figure out in the future where he’s supposed to do it.
The whole family is having fun watching him. When he runs, he slips on the floor and falls flat on his face. He tickles us by licking us all over. If only we have a yard, I would definitely like to have another one. But he’s enough for now. Chewie is indeed a nice addition to our family.
