Analytics tracking problem in new Blogger template

Recently I have created a new blogger/blogspot blog and inserted a google analytics code I have done it many times before in blogger and never faced any problem (apart from this 'www' problem). However, today I faced a news problem in new blogger templates.

I inserted the tracking code in 'edit html' mode just before the closing head tag
. However, anaytics did not find the code and showed me that tracking is not installed. After some trial and error, I found the following work around.
1. Go to settings » other, find the 'Analytics Web property ID' in Blogger admin dashboard
2. Go to analytics admin dashboard, find your desired web property ID
3. Insert it in the place found in step-01
4. Go to 'Template' in blogger admin dashboard
5. Scroll to the end of page, you will find 'Revert to classic template'
6. Click on it, and revert to classic template
7. Go to analytics admin dashboard, you should see tracking is now in installed state message
8. Come back to Blogger admin dashboard, change your template to any modern template, whatever you wish. You should see the analytics tracking is still working as it did on my case. Check it with some real time data.

And its done. :-)
