Yes, I've seen the posts on the adding of GA code. I guess the difficulty someone may have in adding GA code directly is subjective to how proficient they are at coding. Additionally, if one uses a default templates then the GA code needs to be added ever time there is an update - one of the reasons I created the plugin in the first place.
Anyway, it was just a suggestion - didn't want you to have to chance links every time I'm a little lazy ;-)

Great. j916, is there anything by micheall in there? I just updated the extensions entry with your link (had still the link to micheall's site) and you two are listed as authors. We just want to be correct on this. Please check the entry http://www.zenphoto.org/news/google-analytics and let us know.
