Very dumb question

I have only worked on wordpress websites in the past, but right now I'm trying to work on a template based website. If I want to add adsense or analytics to every page of the site for example, do I have to add the code to every single individual page or is there any way I can modify the pages all at once? What if I wanted to add as sitewide link, wouldn't trying to add the link to every page be very time consuming if the site was big?

 

There are dedicated plugins for this located at

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

Another way is to just paste the code generated by Google under a template section (such as footer.php, header.php, sidebar.php, etc)


So no, you don't have to paste this all the time on each page.

Goodluck

 

My site is template based, not wordpress based. I have only used wordpress in the past and I'm not sure how to mass modify a template based site.

 

6speed, he's not using WordPress for his current project. What he needs to look into are conditionals and other programming logic.

 

Sorry, it's too early for me

 

You can create a master page that contains your header and footer.
Put the code to display in all pages there.
That way, you just put the code once, not in all files.

 

What do you mean by "template based"? What are you using to build your site?

 

rename your files from .html to .php
create footer.php file and put your analytics code there
insert <? include('footer.php'); ?> into each file
