Web Site Counter

I have been attempting to add a visitor counter on my Xtreme website template and have read Gary's tutorial and Covoxer's post regarding place-holders.
I'm not smarter than the average bear; and when I have finished my counter is at the top of the page and not where I put it. Obviously my mistake when I do the following: -

1) Create box with rectangle tool where I want the counter to be.
2) Select box and create name "Counter" from the name box on tool bar.
3) Export HTML site.
4) Open HTML site in editor, find "Counter" and replace the image text detail with the counter snippet.

This is where I go wrong I think, as the position is missing. When I publish, the rectangle is not there and the counter is at the page top!

Could some kind person enlighten this duffer?

I have done some more searches in the forum and have now found the answer to my question. (See below.)

Thanks to all for considering the matter and for the original posters for solving my case. I am grateful.

You're welcome - anytime ......

Off topic, but you might also consider the advantages of not using a counter. They're so last century.

"They're so last century."
....and so am I! - but I take your point.

go and put google analytics on your page. It will tell you everything that is happening, tao

Tao,

Thanks for the tip.
