Publisher and Google Analytics

[shawne]

I'm using Microsoft Publisher for my website (don't laugh, lol) and it
actually works really well for most things I want to do. BUT, I find
it ridiculously hard to do some simple things. All I want to do is
import a snippet of Code but Google says it has to be in before the </
body> tag, which, of course, Microsoft wont let me touch.

I KNOW it's easy enough to just edit the HTML document after the fact
and force it in manually. However, since my host uses Frontpage
Extensions I cannot FTP into it anymore and manually upload the file
with the Analytics code. I turned the extensions off and FTP'd in,
uploaded the modified htm's, then turned extensions on again, but then
my forms no longer worked!

Do I need to buy dreamweaver or something *JUST* so I can get a
snippet of code in before the body tag? Or is there some trick to it??

Try asking in a Publisher newsgroup.

Do you have FP?

'Tis because Publisher is not an html editor, you really cannot access that
area or any of the code with Publisher itself. If you have FrontPage you
could open the Publisher website and add the Google stuff, but you will end
up overwriting it when you publish with Publisher again, so you have to be
careful.

And, to kick a dead horse (so to speak), Publisher is to good HTML as a
3-week old tuna salad sandwich is to Kobe steak.

proprietary tuna at that.

Publisher is pretty good at dtp for print, not so great at web sites.
