Previous configuration of google analytic

This way of doing the configuration still works but you will get a warning that there was a syntax change.

Your _config/site.yml needs to include the property google_analytics with your account identifier.

Property	Description
google_analytics	The identifier for your Google Analytics site tracking
google_analytics_anonymize	if true, enforce anonymization of IPs (in async mode only)

Use the helper

Typically in a core HTML layout, simply invoke the helper

= google_analytics

If you want to use Google Analytics in async mode, use

= google_analytics_async
