Adding new Codes
-
Hi everyone,
I’ve just made a new blog and am lost completely – I find wordpress in comparison with Blogspot very confusing.
Anyway, a simple question:
How would I add a new HTML code to my original sourse code? (how would I access my source code anyway?)
All I want to do is add a code to trace a stat of visitors to my blog.
Thanks in advance or any replies.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

@losersrecovery : are you talking about google analytics ? then you cannot do with it. JavaScript, flash, php edits, some html codes are not allowed, and CSS edits are allowed with a paid upgrade.
There is wordpress.com ‘s own analytics right on your dash board.
These link can help you: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2009/10/24/real-time-visitor-tracking-non-javascript-for-blogs/

Thanks Slikbones & Phoxis for your replies.
(In blogspots the whole source codes can be accessed and modified as you’re probably aware).

The reason you cannot edit themes here is because this is a multi-user platform which means we all share the same underlying theme and wordpress files. Any change made by one person would change it for everyone. This is one of the reasons that wordpress is in what the call “continuous development.” They push code out every day and sometimes many times per day. If each person had a separate set of theme files, then anytime that an update or bug fix needed rolled out, they would have to roll it out separately to each person using that theme, and in the case of some popular themes here, that might mean updating 10,000 blogs on hundreds of servers.
That is why blogger only updates their stuff infrequently.

Also, the theme files here are not HTML. They are all written in PHP script, since the theme files have to interface with the databases, and there are few that can work with PHP script in a safe and secure fashion. It is very easy to open security holes if you don’t know what you are doing.

@losersrecovery : Yes we are aware about blogger.com , actually i moved from blogger to here, because this platform provides some unique features

In addition to wordpresss stats http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ we can also run free 3rd party non-javascript stats programs on our blogs. I have reviewed some that are live visitor tracking programs and some that aren’t. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/tag/visitor-tracking/
