MY HOME PAGE
Now, let's add a "hit" counter for the page. In order to do that, you're going to have to know the proper code for a counter. This code will vary from ISP to ISP. If you're on Geocities, Tripod or AOL, the codes are all different.
If your ISP doesn't offer a counter, you can get a free one from many places. Here's a site with a list of them.
Once you get the counter code from your
ISP or web page host, it's going to look something like
this: <img
src="/cgi-bin/counter?screenname">
It might not be exactly like that, but it will
probably be similar. You'll notice that it says img src in the
code. That's because it's treated as an image by the web
browser, so you can add it to your page just as you would
an image. On the page at your ISP that you get the
counter code from, just copy the part between the quotes.
For example:/cgi-bin/counter?screenname
would be the
code from AOL. Make sure you include the "/" at
the beginning and there are no spaces. Now, click where
you're going to place the counter. You may want to put a
line in like:
You're visitor # since (put a date here).
Right next to the # click on the image
icon 
and then, click on "From Location"
and erase the http:// and paste in the counter code
without the quotes or img src part. When you click OK,
the counter won't show up yet. The counter only works
when the page is actually on the Internet server. Right
now, all you'll see on the page is:
You're visitor # 
since November 1, 1998.
When you upload the page, or publish, the counter will show up.
