google analytics with hash marks (jquery tabs)

I use jquery tabs on my homepage.  when you arrive at the homepage, it's like:

http://www.home.com

then if you click about us, it's like:

http:www.home.com/#about

jquery uses hash marks to keep track of the tabs. I would like to use google analytics to record data on which tabs are getting clicked and/or linked to.

I've found some sort-of-answers on stackOverflow, but to be honest, they just aren't dumbed down enough for me. It seems like I need to use a simple string replace to send GA a / instead of a # and then the tab can be tracked. But I don't know if that works for links or just tab-changes. Also, I don't know how to integrate it into the code at the bottom of the page. And I definitely don't understand how to add the connections to the Google Analytics page: are they separate profiles or accounts? do i add them using slashes or hashes.

Thank you for any help you can offer! I know there are a lot of questions here!
