admit I have to change my vendor now and then, seems they come and go.

Don Schmidt said:I also use a counter. My reason is I put proprietary documents in a logon,
password protected folder and I want to get an idea how many lodge members
are making use of the files.

how do you put a counter on a Publisher 2000 website?
JoAnn Paules said:I'm just saying there's other ways to do that. Counters also count the
number of times that you visit the site as well as others. I know that I
hit my site more often than anyone else. I use a different service (free)
that tells me more than just how many people. There's no counter on the
page and it excludes me. ;-)

DavidF said:Instead of labeling people as amateur for using a counter, and then
excusing the insult by saying there is a better way, why don't you tell
them the better way in the first place? Don't you think that would be a
bit more constructive?

JoAnn Paules said:I didn't start the idea that if you use a counter then you're an amateur. I
used to use on too until I learned that that's a dead giveaway of a beginner.
What people need to do is figure out *why* they want a counter and then google
for more information on how to get that information. Knowing that x number of
people hit your site really tells you nothing, especially if you're checking
it often to see how many people have been there.

Mary Sauer said:Most folks that use Publisher for web pages are amateurs. Professional web
designers haven’t a clue about Publisher. I believe we all know what is
professional and what is not professional when we visit a site.
Personally, I could care less if a counter is present or happy faces or
animated gifs. (Sound is my one gripe). It is a relief to get away from
ads on so call professional sites. I have visited many homemade web sites
that have very valuable information that also have horrendous graphics and
enormous text. Who cares!
