Blogger (and most modern HTML tools) enforce a level of XHTML 
compliance, which is more than the Google Analytics code complies with 
(Google messed up the ga.js installation instructions), you will need 
to cut out all the HTTP/HTTPS auto-detection including the 
document.write and just use the version you need (http or https, like 
so)

For HTTP:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google-analytics.com/ 
ga.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXX-1"); 
pageTracker._initData(); 
pageTracker._trackPageview(); 
</script>


For HTTPS:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ 
ga.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXX-1"); 
pageTracker._initData(); 
pageTracker._trackPageview(); 
</script>
