Butt crease yoga pants.

Today I have no motivation to write much of substance here because I woke up at 5am this morning and didn't ever fall back asleep.

Anxiety is one serious son of a bitch but I'll get into that with you all another time.

Quickly, before I run to work my day away only to work my weekend away packing up my life, I need to share my current mind blowing obsession.

Bloggers, if you aren't familiar with Google Analytics you have got to go familiarize yourself right now. Seriously, I give you permission to ditch my blog and go sign up now.

If not for the great that comes with knowing how your blog is performing (I like to think of my blog as a ballerina performing on stage in a tutu) then do it for the real-time overview. Real talk, I am so amused by the feature it's embarrassing.

Here's how to install Google Analytics in your Blogger template:

Go to Settings --> Other

Find the Google Analytics box.

Next you need to open another window and sign in to Google Analytics with your blogger account.

Select on your blog on the Account Home page.

At the top left hand of your screen you'll see an orange navigation menu --> Click on the drop down  arrow of the very first box.

You should see a number that has 2 letters at the beginning --> Copy the entire number including before and after the dashes. This is your Analytics Property Web ID.


Go back to your blogger settings where you found the Google Analytics box and enter your Analytics Property Web ID.


And you're done.
Give it a couple minutes to start tracking your blog's analytics and, if you're a complete nerd like me, see how much fun it is.

Or if you don't really care about analytics you can at least find humor in seeing the current search terms leading to your blog that don't show up on your blogger stats.
Check out these gems I'm currently working with.

Yes, that does say "butt crease yoga pants".

Happy Friday, people.
