Installing the plug-in is simple, download it through your WordPress admin area or directly from the website and upload it using your FTP client.  Activate the plug-in though your WordPress panal, so to the settings and follow the instructions.  The tracking code will be applied to all of the pages with the blog, you should allow a few hours for the tracking to start recording data.
