A Success Counter In Frontpage 2000

Adding a hit counter to your web page allows you to keep track of the number of visitors to your website. The hit counter will show a number each time your web page is viewed. Adding a hit counter is a great way to keep track of your site’s popularity. Most hit counters are added to the website's main webpage, but it is possible to add a hit counter to any of your other web pages.


Instructions


1. Access your FrontPage program. Open the webpage that you will be editing and adding the hit counter to.


2. Click on the menu bar and choose “Insert” then “Hit counter.” This opens the “hit counter” dialog box. Under “counter style” choose the style that you wish to use for the numbers displayed on your hit counter.


3. Check the “reset counter to” box if you want to start your hit counter at a number other than zero. If you don’t choose this option, your hit counter will automatically start at zero.


4. Click “OK” to close the “Hit counter properties” dialog box. When you view your web page through FrontPage, you will see the words {Hit Counter} but these words will not show on your web page when displayed in your browser. If you want to delete the hit counter from your web page, simply delete {Hit Counter} from your web page after you open it in FrontPage.


5. Open your web browser and verify that your hit counter has been added to your web page.
