Google Analytics support in Blogger
Having a solid understanding of the traffic and visitor engagement statistics of your blog is one of the best ways to help it grow, and that’s why today we’re excited to announce that you can now easily connect your
Google Analytics account with your blog.
Adding Google Analytics to your blog will give you more insight into where your visitors are coming from and help you determine which content they engage with the most. It's an easy to use, powerful, free product that is used internationally by businesses large & small.
If you already have a Google Analytics account, simply navigate to your blog’s Settings > Other tab and enter your blog's Google Analytics
Web Property ID. Blogger will then insert Google Analytics code into your blog automatically, regardless of which template you're using, including mobile.
For more details and troubleshooting tips, check out this post on the
Blogger Developers Network blog.
A few notes:
- Google Analytics is supported on blogs using Dynamic Views, Layouts templates, and mobile templates, but not Classic templates.
- Because of the technical differences in how Blogger’s stats and Google Analytics collect data, you are likely to see some minor discrepancies between the two.

Lightbox update
When we enabled a brand new photo viewing experience, called
Lightbox, by default a few weeks ago, we heard from a number of Bloggers who preferred to use their own, previously installed Lightbox solution, or who simply wanted to continue blogging without the new feature.
Thanks to your feedback, we turned Lightbox off temporarily, and we’re re-launching it today with the option to disable it, along with a handful of fixes to bugs that you reported.
To learn more about Lightbox and how it works, check out the
original blog post.
If you’d like to disable Lightbox on your blog, log in to Blogger and select “No” next to Lightbox in the
Settings | Posts and Comments section (new interface) or the
Settings | Formatting section (old interface).
Thanks again for your detailed suggestions, and please continue to share your feedback in our
help forum.
