Google Analytics and Blogger.com

As you know, it is not trivial to insert Google Analytics tracking code into your blog on Blogger.com. Google just doesn't see your code - it says that tracking code is installed, but gets no data from your pages (you see "Tracking code installed - waiting for data" on your analytics page). In order to make your tracking code work, you should do following:

1) Go to your blog template editing page
2) Paste your tracking code into <head>...<head> section of template
3) Make sure Google detected code on your page by updating it's status in Analytics interface
4) Then wrap actual call of urchinTracker in Javascript's eval function like this:

<script src='http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js' type='text/javascript'>
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
eval('_uacct = "your_id_goes_here"; urchinTracker();');
</script>


Click "Save" and it should work! I don't know what actually prevents Google Analytics code from running properly, but wrapping it with eval() call works.

Let's start with a song.

So let's start with a song ))) In early march, 2007 I wrote this song and recorded it. But, because of my total stupidity, I just didn't finish it. I played with arrangement and mastering for about a week, but didn't decide what variant would be final. Also, there is no text for this song. I thought I'll write it myself but - as you already know - I'm just too lazy. So if you'd like to help me with it - just go on!
Oh, and the song itself:

Let's do it

So for now, I don't feel like I can do anything but just start again. Just start again everything I've failed to do earlier. So I'll do it. I've just put new strings on my guitar - which isn't even mine - and that's the thing that made me opening this blog. So let's try! Never before did I write completely in English, so that's the thing that I'll do first time in my life ))) Not only things I've fucked up, but the new things also, you see )))) Let's go on!
