The page I looked at had the analytics code just before the <head> tag. It needs to be after the <head> tag and just before the </head> tag. This pair of similar tags has to surround anything you want to include in the head portion.
This looks very laborious to me. If Easy Site... lets you include HTML inside the <body> ... </body> pair of tags so that it happens automatically for each page, it is worth trying. It may save a lot of manual entry and avoid some sources of error. In theory the difference is between telling google when people start loading your pages and when they finish. You might prefer people to see your pages first and tell google second.
To see clearly what is happening for yourself, have a look at "view source" or "view page source" from your web-browser. Look out for pairs of tags like <head> </head> and <body> </body>. You can't edit from the browser, but you can learn.
Best of luck . These things get clearer with practice.
