When your web hosting account is created, a hit counter is created for you. If you wish to use it on your web pages, you're welcome to do so, and there is no additional charge for this. No advertising, no click throughs, no junk, just a nice, configurable counter. The
basic html to include your counter on a web page looks like this: We know that our
preferences for a counter's appearance won't appeal to everyone,
so we selected a highly configurable counter, and installed about
200 different digit fonts for it. You can change fonts, by adding
an additional tag to the html shown above. It would look like
this: The DD tag specifies
a "digits directory" and tells the counter where to get
the graphical images of the numbers from. Check out the fonts
pages to see what fonts are available, and use the DD=whatever
tag shown below the counter images in the html above. Our font example
would look like this: The thickness of
the border around the counter can also be changed by adding yet
another tag to the html shown above. By adding ft= and a number
to the html above, we control the thickness of the border. By
using html that looks like this:
<img src="http://cgi.sunserver.com/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=mycounter.dat&DD=tube&ft=2"> and the results appear as follows: If you don't like
the default border color, or if it clashes with the color of the
digits you've chosen, you can change it. Yet another tag alters
the border color:
There are many other options you can control (including displaying a clock, a date, and assorted other things). If you're a happy html hacker and not intimidated by the stuff above, go to the complete instructions to learn what other amazing and sometimes confusing things you can do with this counter. |
