You can add a hit counter to your web page simply by adding one line to the HTML. 

<img src="cgi-bin/counter.cgi?cf=/usr01/v-clients/<domain>/counter.dat ">

Where '<domain>' is your given sub-domain name (e.g if your e-mail address was 'user@somebody.uninet.co.uk' then your sub-domain would be 'somebody').

Inserting this line will cause the standard counter style to be displayed, note if you refresh the page the counter should increase.

To control the style of the digits you need to ammend the contents of a file found in the root of your home (FTP) directory. The file named 'counter.dat' controls the style and the current hit-count any page using the 'counter.cgi' script has received.

Download 'counter.dat' file, and open it using the standard windows in-built basic text editor 'notepad' (Windows95 and onwards) which can be found under 'Programs -> Accessories' on your start menu. There is a section that reads 'digit_style=' with a letter next to it. Change this letter for the letter corresponding to the style of counter you wish to use (see table below). You can also 'reset' your counter here by ammending the number found next to the section 'count=', please make sure you do not leave this section blank, if you are resetting please make sure you have at least a '0' for the value of this section. After you have made any ammendments you must save the file and upload it to your FTP directory. ** IMPORTANT ** You MUST NOT delete the 'counter.dat' file on the server, when you re-upload the newly ammended file please make sure you overwrite the existing file instead.
