Google Website Optimizer and WordPress

Today I started a test using Google Website Optimizer on WordPress. The manual way of doing this would mean you would need to create 3 different headers and input the correct tracking code in each.

The data should start coming in a few hours so I will write a second blog to see if it is working properly.
