I have a question relating to web page designing:
How can I add a counter? I will begin developing the website of The Journey to Epsilon Pegasi soon(it seems like having a webpage is the only way to be registered at the ModDB).
The design itself will not be so nice(see the Economical Prosperity's as an example), but I would like to add a counter to it.
My knowledge of HTMLing is almost zero.

Hey,

First, there's no possible way to make a counter using simply HTML.  the easiest way to get a counter is to just use one that someone else has made.  here's a few websites that should get you started...

http://www.kokopelli-designs.com/clicker/help.asp
http://www.myfreecounter.net/
http://bravenet.net/

then it's just a matter of copying their code and pasting it on your site, and you'll end up with a counter.  you can choose styles and everything.  if you're interested in making your own counter, that's a little more difficult.

EDIT:  if you're interested in doing this yourself, try this site:
http://www.scriptarchive.com/counter.html
i've used a lot of that guy's stuff.  they always work great, and they're completely customizable.

[MatthewPapa]

Thanks for the Help, but I am not creative enough to make nice webpages, so I wouldn't need expert HTML knowledge. I need this info because I cannot add a counter using WebPage Maker(the program I use(d)).

i'm not familiar with WebPage Maker, but there's got to be an option in it somewhere to "Insert HTML Code" or "Edit Code" or something like that.  once you go through the website (one of the ones i gave you, make your pick) eventually they'll give you a snippet of code to enter, and you enter that on your website, and you're done.

I can put together a basic design with a counter for you this evening if you would like.

There is no such option, but I can view my HTML with Wordpad.

OK, well once you've got your page made, save the HTML file, then open the HTML file in notepad.  it's not hard to see more or less where you are on the website, because you can still read everything, there's just going to be a lot of code between it.  when you get to the part you want the counter at, insert the piece of code they gave you.

then save it, and you're done

I succeeded in adding the counter. At first(and at second), its position was wrong, but now, it is at a good place. The website is here
