Hello Niklas,

You’re putting you in your specific Google Analytics profile ID, but what you need to put in is the code snippet Google gives you to put in your site.

It’ll look something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>

The reason the theme is setup like this is because the theme is not limited to only Google Analytics. You can put in Analytics code from any service you want. If the theme accepted just the Google profile ID, then people would be limited to just Google.
