Tracking Web Traffic

The Weebly Web Tracking is so confusing to use.  A counter was placed as suggested on the front page of my site and since I migrated over from BlogSpot, the traffic counter only counted 1900 page views.  From the stats maintained by Weebly, I've a daily pageviews (which is very close to the number of unique visitors) of about 80 to 90 views on average (lowest of 44 to highest of 156 page views).  But the counter on the front page only displayed 1900, which is about 20 over days of traffic.  So I decided to take it down and put on Google Analytics.  Frankly, I'm still a little confused of how this is to be set up.  Let's see if I get it right.  If you know how to go about doing this beside what the instructions on Google Analytics said, please drop me a note.  I'm still getting the "tracking not installed" status as of this writing.

Tracking on BlogSpot is so much simpler... sigh...
