Can anyone point me towards (or give me lol) a HTML based hit counter?
I don't want to sign up to some website, deal with humans beings, just for a little code that I can't modify to my liking and holds my website to yet another person's standards.

Does such a HTML gadget exist?

I know of one, but you have to sign up at a website

http://www.sitemeter.com/

Guess I'll have to settle for that for now.
Thank you.

PS: Loving the avatar-name thingy going on there

I would recommend signing up at www.statcounter.com. They will give the locations/IPs/Browsers/Resolutions/ISPs/etc for free. You can make the counter invisible or visible, your choice. However, hit counters are now viewed as a novelty used by web design novices.

Right. Got it up and running. Thank you

[covert215]

Which program did you use? What is your site?

I'm sorry... was that an attack? :P
I am a webdesign novice. And I also have no statistics with my hosting package. And it would be awefully handy to know who comes to the site and from where.

I used the one namenotfound gave me since I signed up before I saw your reply.
My website is Welcome to Machine
Still in the middle of bringing it from Geocities to my new server

That was not an attack. That is fact. It is unprofessional. I have stats on my page, but they are detailed breakdowns, not a little hit counter.

The solution I gave you allows you to get all those stats without placing a visible counter on your page. I use it as well.

[BlackFrancis]

I see.
We could use those features. But there's something inside of me that wants to puke when I'm being sold something by being told what I'm doing is "unprofessional". My ego is my biggest downfall.
Thank you for your link.

[covert215]

Sorry

Who is your new server provider? Many of them have something like Webalizer and or AWstats installed, and they work pretty well.

0moola.com
4.88GB of disk space, subdomain, 9TB Monthly bandwidth and excellent support staff.
All I had to do is agree to be spammed every now and again. lol Apart from that, it's free

I think I should look at what the gold service is, if this is their free version.

Remember not to appologise to me ever. No need

[covert215]

lol.

4.88? how'd they end up with that number?

[redivivus]

Free? Sounds fishy. Not sure what "being spammed every now and again" means.

[BlackFrancis]

Confused me too man... All I know is that I'd probably never reach it unless I get lazy and not delete my old articles... but you know, why bother? Too many memories! lol

I'm guessing since no techies have been yelling at me yet, 0moola must be safe

They asked me if it's ok if their "affiliates contact" me "on special offers". I clicked yes. If someone is this nice, they deserve to spam me. I already get 200 a week for no reason anyway. What's a few more?

[BlackFrancis]

WHOO!
Uploaded my new hit counter!
