4. Within your Google Tag account, click Create Account:
5. Now you need to complete the fields provided, before clicking the Create button in the bottom left-hand corner:
6. A menu of terms will appear. Tick the box at the bottom, and then the blue Yes button in the top right-hand corner:
7. You’ll now see a window appear holding two pieces of code. Copy these onto a Notepad (.txt) file, or if you’re using a Mac, use TextEditor:

9. Then click Theme from the drop-down options:
10. Click the More Actions button on the bottom left-hand side, and then click Inject Custom Code from the drop-down menu:
