Guide to: How to add a Tracker to your Blog

Hello,
So you want to add a Tracker to your blog? You've clicked on the right guide!
So let's get straight to it...

Step 1:
Go to the Blogger Dashboard (make sure you are already logged in) and click on the Page icon next to the Pencil icon and click the tab that says 'Layout'.


Step 2:
Once on the Layout tab, click on the 'Add a Gadget' tab wherever you wish for the tracker to be placed.
For this example, I used an empty widget box in my Sidebar. Once that is clicked, a window should pop-up giving you the massive choice of all the wonderful widget options Blogger has to offer.



Step 3:
Scroll down this list and find a widget that says 'HTML/Javascript' and press the little '+' icon to open up a second window where you can paste the Tracker code. (Keep this window open when doing the next step.)

Step 4:
Go onto Chobots.net and login to your account. Click on any server, and any location. Then open up your Playercard and press the right mouse button to open up a selection box. Click on 'Copy Tracker Code'.


Step 5:
Paste this code into the 'HTML/Javascript' window we kept open from Step 3.
You should end up with something like this:


You will obviously have your username where my username is, but if you want to add a tracker for someone else (Eg. Staff Member) then simply replace your username with theirs. (I have circled the two bits you should change) - Also, if the tracker is too large for your sidebar (or wherever you choose to add it) change the 'Width' and 'Height' variables until the tracker is correct for your blog.

I hope this guide has helped those who didn't know how to add a tracker.
Thank you for reading, be sure to get in contact with me if you encounter an issue.
