Hit Counter help

[nymph4]

I would like to ad a Hit Counter to my Web Site but every web site I go on says I have to join and setup a username and password.

What is this I thought a Hit Counter was a Pice of HTML code and it counted the browser cash or something like that.
Can anyone explain it to me and maybe a good fast way to get one?

Well - any hit counter needs some ''behind the scenes'' function to record hits.  There are cgi codes that can work but - IMO the ideal is one I use on many of my sites and pages.

Go to http://www.statcounter.com/ - sure you have to sign up but - once done you have a choice of  many options and - later, you can log in and check stats etc.

If you really want your own code - check out sites that offer free cgi and php snippets - but still think you'll find statcounter very easy.  Click on my www icon and if you go to one of my sites and look at page bottom/footer - you'll see it in action.
