    I have a question regarding entering Google Analytics code.

    Google says to add it to every page I want to track.
    I've also been told to go to Genesis --> Theme Settings --> Header and Footer Scripts --> Header Scripts, and paste the code there

    My questions is, can I do it through Genesis as described above, and cover all pages and posts? Or do I still need to enter it on every page and post as Google instructs?

    Currently, I have it in the Genesis theme settings AND on pages and posts... is that duplicity a problem?

    Thank you!
    Scott

    Entering it the Genesis way places it on all pages. Google's instructions are generic, intended for a wide audience and assumes no theme framework in use.

    Don't know if it is , probably not , but you DO have it appearing twice in the head , so do as Victor suggests and just enter it in the genesis theme settings only.
