To add the JavaScript needed by Google Analytics to DotClear I simply added a text widget using the Presentation widgets menu option.

Keeping the Title empty makes the script appear invisible, and dechecking the Home page only checkbox adds the script to every page.

Installing DotClear on my domain was a breeze. As it is hosted by my domain registrar Gandi, it merely consisted of a few clicks and changing the default subdomain of blog to www.

The next steps will consist of making a few adjustments:

• Looking through the default themes, and picking one with a minimal, clean look
• Changing that theme to look more minimal (e.g. by letting links be underlined)
• Finding a way to add Google Analytics to DotClear, which could be problematic as I don’t have much control of its installation
