Please note: this counter is ONLY for use by Great Works Internet customers! If you have a Virtual Web Server with us that currently isn't setup for use with the counter, please send an email to webmaster@gwi.net stating your Virtual Web Server name and your user ID.

To add a hit counter to your website, use a line as follows:

Basic counter...

<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=count.dat">

The same but in font E...

<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=count.dat|dd=E">

With a bright red thick frame, in style C...

<IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=count.dat|ft=10|dd=C|frgb=ff0000">

NOTE: It is VERY important to change "count.dat" into a UNIQUE file name. If you do not use a filename that is unique among all GWI users who use count.cgi, then your data will mix with other users' data. For example, if your address is www.mydomain.com, you might use mydomain1.dat as the counter data file name.

As you can see from the above examples, multiple values are joined together with a |.

Currently, there are nine fonts for use with the dd= option, all of which are shown below. To use one of these fonts, simply add dd=STYLENAME to your tag (e.g., dd=A). Please note: these are all case sensitive, so using dd=a will not work!

Style A
Style B
Style C
Style D
Style E
Style cd
Style cdr
Style cdd
Style bang

Here are some of the many other options available for this counter program. We cannot guarantee that all of the following will work for you, but if the instructions are followed correctly, they should.
