How to find header section in Magento platform?

Question

I have a website in Magento and I am relatively new to this platform and I have basic notions of HTML and PHP. I want to make an account on Google Webmasters tools and I need to confirm that the website is mine.

I have a metadata that I need to insert it in the header of the website, but I cannot find the header section. Can someone help me with this please?

Answer 1

I did a quick google search on where the header file in magento is located it came out with this

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/html/head.phtml

And i assume default is the default theme ,if you have your own custom theme just follow the path to your theme.

I hope that this is what you are looking for.

3. From Left Click on Design Tab
4. In right Column Click on HTML Head Group.
5. You can add your script code in Miscellaneous Scripts textarea
