Your control panel allows you to install
graphical counters, browse the instruction manual, and view over 150
digit style examples. Therefore, we will only list the basic steps here.
STEP 1: Simply place the following
line of HTML code into your webpage(s) that you want to have a graphical
counter. Place the line exactly where you want the counter to appear.
Paste the following line into your HTML page(s):
<IMG src="/gcounter/Count.cgi?df=your_login.dat">
Do not worry about what all of that stuff means, just make sure you copy
it all into your HTML file.
STEP 2: Now you need to change the part of that line toward the
end that says "df=your_login.dat". Change the "your_login" to your actual
login at StudioDeluxe.net. If you put more than one graphical counter on
your webpages, make this line "your_login2.dat" for the second counter,
"your_login3.dat" for the third counter, and so on.
Lets say my login is webjunkie. I would make the df=webjunkie.dat. Suppose
I wanted another graphical counter, I would use the same line as above but
change the line that says "df=webjunkie.dat" to "df=webjunkie2.dat" since
this is my second counter.
Tip: You can put more than one counter on a single HTML page (why
would you though?). Just make sure to NOT use the same name for the df=your_login
as described above. If you have two counters that have the same line of "df=your_login.dat",
they will both read the same thing and increment both counters, so your
hits will be inflated.
STEP 3: There are so many different ways you can display this
graphical counter! We have 4 styles you can choose from for the counter,
and you can even change the size, the border, the background, and you can
frame your graphical counter!
Here is an example of what the default graphical counter looks like:
Now let's see a counter we customized:
Here is the HTML we used to customize this counter:
<img src="/gcounter/Count.cgi?ft=6|frgb=69;139;50|tr=1|trgb=255;255;255|md=6|dd=F|df=test1.dat"

There are literally an infinite number of ways to customize your counter.
You can make it with a frame, no frame, you can specify the frame color,
you can specify the background color or background transparency color, and
so on.
We currently have over 150 different counter digits for you to chose from!
The details can be accessed via your personal control panel.
Remember to use the argument associated with the graphical style you would
like to use.
