How do I put a counter on my page?
To insert a counter onto your page you need to put the following code
<IMG SRC="lahttp://cgi.fortunecity.com/user-cgi/Count.cgi?df=username.xxx">
Where "username" is replaced by the username you have chosen for Fortunecity and the "xxx" is replaced by a unique three digit number of your choice. If my username is "Homer" then my counter code would be as follows
<IMG SRC="http://cgi.fortunecity.com/user-cgi/Count.cgi?df=Homer.001">
If I wanted to put a second counter on a different page within my site the code would be
<IMG SRC="http://cgi.fortunecity.com/user-cgi/Count.cgi?df=Homer.002">
You can have as many counters on as many different pages as you want, as long as each one has a different three digit number to identify it.
NB. If you username has spaces in it such as "Homer Simpson" then the spaces must be replaced by a full stop (.) in the counter code, otherwise the counter will not work correctly:
<IMG SRC="http://cgi.fortunecity.com/user-cgi/Count.cgi?df=Homer.Simpson.001">
If my username was "The Mighty Quinn" then my counter code would be
<IMG SRC="http://cgi.fortunecity.com/user-cgi/Count.cgi?df=The.Mighty.Quinn.001">
