Question by Pastor Chad from JesusFreak.com: Trying to figure out how to add a custom stats counter to my Blogspot blog template?
I just started a new blog on Blogspot.com and I’ve got a stats counter that I’d like to add to the blog so I can get detailed stats on each page, but I can’t figure out which box to add it to so that the counter script will appear on each page. I’ve used this company’s stat counters for seven years and have been extremely satisfied with them, so I’d prefer to use their counter rather than the stats that Blogspot provides. Any idea how I can add the counter script so it will show up on each page? I’m hoping to sell ads on the blog eventually, so having detailed traffic stats would be very helpful.
Roie, I’m most familiar with the stat counter I’ve been using for the past seven years and I get a ton of information for next to no money, so I’d like to stick with what I’ve got. 😉
Kristi, thanks for the info, but I’d rather stick with the counter I have. 😉 How do I format my Blogspot layout so I can add a counter?

My suggestion is to add Google analytics which has far more features than any counter. Use the following link for detailed instructions.
