i am a newbie to wordpress i have minimal knowledge in html and css only
i have upraded my account so i can edit the css layout online using the browser, but didnt install wordpress cos i have NO idea of what it is even after reading the info from support page
i only want to add some tracking code from google stats and feedburner to the html page of my blog, where i found online that it says i have to add that under wordpress ” theme editor” BUT i cannot find the editor from my dashboard in wordpress.com from the browser
do i have to install wordpress to access theme editor?
i really have no clue even after reading many info, can anyone PLEASE tell me after i put everything (the wordpress zip) on the server then it means my dashboard online will change its interface? and since i have no clue, will the installation affect any of my already designed layout?
i only know the minimal codes to layout my page thats why i may sound very silly, but i really need to get to the theme editor to do those tracking codes SO PLS ANYONE HELP?

Sorry your in the wrong forum this is wordpress.COM you need WordPress.ORG
Correct forum link > http://wordpress.ORG/support/

cos the other forum direct me here
all i wanted to know is how can i add tracking codes to the wordpress.com?

If your blog is hosted here at wordpress.COM then you cannot modify the underlying wordpress or theme files. This is a multi-user platform and any change made to the wordpress or theme files will effect everyone since we all share the same files.
The CSS upgrade here at wordpress.COM is to allow you to modify the CSS, which simply allows you to stylize the themes here. It does not give you access to the underlying files. For that you would have to hire a webhost, get a domain name, install the wordpress software from wordpress.ORG, on the webhost.
Take a look at this sticky post at the top of the forum which explains the difference between wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1 .

We cannot add any code to the HTML files. Actually there are no HTML files. Everything is written in PHP script, which creates the HTML files on the fly as needed.

thanks for your info
one more questions, i want to know after installing the wordpress software, is it going to affect my already designed layout on wordpress.com? will it overwrite my already there data?
-
You will not be installing the software here, so it will have no effect on your blog here.

To get your blog information here to show on your wordpress.ORG install at a web host, you will have to export it and then import it in the wordpress.ORG install on your web host.
To to the support tab and search for “export”.
