 * I read this article about child themes <[http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes&gt](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes&gt);
   and have a question.
 * I have a twentyten-child theme. I would like to add google analytics code to 
   the header.php. RIght now have a copy of the header.php in the twentyten-child
   folder that has been modified with the code.
 * Is this the best way to handle this? Or can the code be injected similar to the
   way it was done with the functions.php example from the article?
 * TIA

 * [Function Reference/wp enqueue script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script)
   might help.
 * But in general yes things can be added via actions & filters if you want to avoid
   editing directly, even in a theme this can be useful.
