2. Go to 'Appearance' in the left menu and select the sub-item 'Editor' or 'Theme file Editor' (the name may vary depending on the theme used):
3. Scroll down to the footer of your page and move the mouse pointer over the area so that the area is highlighted in color. Then click on it.
4. Move the mouse pointer over the center of the area and add a block there by clicking on the plus icon "Add block".
5. Search for the type 'HTML' and then click on 'Custom HTML'.
6. Copy the JavaScript code from above and paste it into the field that says 'Write something in HTML...'. To see if it works, you can click on 'Preview'.
7. Save your changes by clicking on 'Save' in the top right corner. Confirm by clicking 'Save' again.
