Hi Jason,

Now that the Config Tab and Analytic’s has been removed. Would the best practice to include the Analytics information be:

if( ! function_exists( 'themeblvd_analytics' ) ) {
	function themeblvd_analytics() {
		echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">
			  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
			  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-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>\n";
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'themeblvd_analytics', 2 );

Sure, you can do that if you want. At this point, by manually hooking to wp_head, you’re essentially just taking the Google Analytics code they gave you and putting it in your <head> like the instructions say to do.

I also posted a plugin that you can use, too, that’ll do this same thing essentially. —
