I had a specific reason for wanting to use this: There's a website called www.picnet.com.au/met/ that offers a fascinating mouse-eye tracking service, where it can display how people looked at your website in the form of mouse-tracks and visual heatmaps, based on the fact that quite often the mouse goes where people are looking.
To use this service (the paid version is far too expensive but I recommend at least trying the free version that requires a small link), you need some HTML inserted into the body copy of every page you want tracked. Therefore this PHP PLUGIN (use can use it for HTML too) was just what I needed, meaning I only needed to put the tracking code in once for it to automatically be in the body copy on every page. It installed perfectly and I put the HTML code in the 'after content' box so the link appears at the bottom, althugh this plugin offers four different places: In preparation, after title, before content and after content, and you can have different bits of code in each which is very flexible.
The next morning I've just been looking at my first mouse tracks and heat map overlaid on the page. Brilliant. Thank you for this simple itility that has saved me a huge amount of time encoding each of about 50 different articles.
