Computer support has written a script to set up the file necessary for our webserver to maintain a counter for one of your web pages. To use the script, ssh to chemistry and type the command

    counter

Answer the questions it asks you. It will set up the counter file and tell you the HTML to add to your web page so that the counter will be displayed.

This script uses a new counter that has many customizable features. Please look at some examples of Counters and Clocks that you can use on your site. If you would like to use a different style, you can modify any of the "variable=value" pairs except for the first one, "df". The value following df is the data file that stores the value of hits you have. Changing this will break your counter. However, you may change dd=A to dd=cd, dd=B, dd=C, dd=D, or dd=E to experiment with different styles of counters. Changing ft=0 to ft=5 will give you a frame thickness of 5, which creates a border around your counter. Also note that adding the line
<img src=/cgi/Count.cgi?display=clock>
will add a clock to your homepage! Have fun!
