 * If I add custom code like Google Analytics to my template and then modify it 
   and upload it again, I lose such custom code. Is there a way around this to keep
   the custom code intact while making minor changes to the template?
    Thank you.

 * You can only “lose” code in a template by over-writing it. Is that what is happening?

 * Yes. I have Google Analytics in the footer.php file. When I re-install the template
   with minor changes to it like colors etc. I lose that code.
    Thank you.

 * then youre removing the code when you edit the file.
 * the short answer to your question is yes — dont erase your edits, and make sure
   youre modifying the current file, and not a backup.
 * this sounds more like a user issue than a wordpress issue.

 * I think the problem lies in using an Artisteer template. When I modify anything,
   it seems a whole new template is generated with all old custom scripts being 
   deleted.

 * Will ask them if it is possible to import the old template back for editing and
   then re-exporting it back.
    Thanks.
