How Do I Add a Visitor Counter to Frontpage 2003?
A visitor, or hit, counter is an object embedded into a web page that keeps track of the number of visitors that have visited the site. These counters can be simple images or full blown works of art, depending on how the website creator wants to display them. Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 makes the addition of a hit counter to a web page a simple process, but there are certain criteria that must be met for the counter to work properly.
