I'm going to add a counter to this page...
Once I've made a signup page I'll allow people to open up free accounts for having counters on their pages.
if you look at the link for that I have included a little hack to make this forum display pictures generated from PHP...
but it can still be linked in the following way (
http://counters.kathulu.co.uk/counter.php?counter=2) as well. if you happened to be linking from a normal page where you could put whatever you liked between image tags.
the counter currently logs additional information for each hit in the form of:
Date
Time
IP adderss
Users browser language.
and I've decided I'll also log the browser agent, this may be useful if you had say a mozilla fan site and wanted to know how many IE users were looking at your site etc...
Counters can be any font and any foreground/background colour...
if I get really bored I may even support numbers on top of images. (but I'm not hosting the images!!!)
Anyway... that's not bad for a lunch times work...
I may write the sign up page and any help pages later... (if I get bored again)....
(lets see from now how many people are browsing in this thread!!!)
