Guestbook and Counter
Mood:

caffeinated
Topic: HTML Questions
I have been having troubles with my site.

https://www.angelfire.com/bug2/militarybesh/

http://www.besharahfamily.com

I would like to add a guestbook and a counter. I have only had the page up and running for a couple of months now and I am averaging 1700 page views a month. I would like to make it easier for people to add coments and view others but I can't figure out how.

Please help!!!

Hi,

The code for the counter is:
img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi {I haven't added the
necessary brackets]

and you will find a guestbook here:

I tried the code for the counter but without the brackets in the right spots I can't get it to work. Would you mind resending it with the brackets in the right spot?

Thanks

For some reason, if I include the proper brackets, the
code does not show up on the blog.

I am going to add ordinary brackets, which you must change
for the proper type.

(center)(img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi")(/center)

Tom- this blog doesn't accept html code so here's the trick to posting html code to this blog- replace all the left brackets < with the ascii code for it. It is the left bracket which is not directly typeable into the blog text fields and which makes your html code disappear. The < code looks like this- & lt ; -but with no spaces between the & the lt and the ;

you can type the right bracket > directly into the blog text box.

the code you're trying to post with all left brackets replaced with the code for it, will end up posting like this....

<center><img src="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi"></center>

Besh,

I checked out your site and it's very nice.
The A/F Blog setup lends itself very well to the
display of family photos.

Of course, when you eventually start on a new page, you will have to re-enter the codes for the guestbook and counter.....that's simple enough to do.

Thanks also to CW for clearing up the code mystery.
I was wondering how other folks, like Dalleh etc., were
able to post HTML code and I wasn't.
