add hit counter

[vee_ess]

I would just go to Webmonkey or something, and just use their source code.

I just use a cgi script I will write myself.

If you are editing your pages with Frontpage it can sometimes tweak things in a bad way.

As long as you're getting your code "copy & paste" from the counter.com poeples. I would edit your page you want the counter on in notepad and past the cost in. FTP it up using a real FTP client like WSFTP or some such other software besides FrontPage.

Just my opinion, but more often than not trouble happens when using FrontPage.

did you write the code?? If not check to make sure the code pasted into Frontpage exactly how you cut it. I've been using Frontpage and Dreamweaver for quite a while and neither has given me any major coding problems.

Frontpage is squirrely when it comes to things other than FP extensions.
My personal suggestion is to go to some place like hotscripts.com and download a CGI script to place on your server or a PHP script... use a regular text editor (I use EdiPad Classic, but Notepad will work) and that way you don't get all the garbage FP insists on putting in there...

My 2 cents..

Wrote it. I was going to use a image counter but gdlib was being a pain in the ass with jpg format. So I made it HTML

view it in a web browser and see if it works.

One thing you have to remember with counters is that you have to have them one every one of your pages, not just the frontpage. Go through your pages and make sure that you have that counter code on all of your pages, then it will count them and display the counter.

but if it says "you are visitor $num", then putting it on each page really woudlent make them visitor $num.
