## Description

The “Generic Stats” plugin is a place for you to put all statistics tracking code
that the various stats packages provide in one place.

The benefit is that when swapping templates or adding (and removing) stats code,
you don’t need to edit your theme.

You also have the option to specify which code will be put above the <body> tag,
and which code will be placed BELOW the </body> tag.

You can also prevent the stats code from being shown to admin users, to prevent 
the tracking of admin users.

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

 1. Upload `genstats.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to the “Generic Stats” plugin options page

  Where do I get the Statistics Code you talk about?

When you sign up for a statistics program, for example with [Google Analytics](http://www.google.com/analytics/)
or [performancing Metrics](http://pmetrics.performancing.com/480), you are generally
given code that you will need to place on your web page. That is the code I am talking
about.
