How to add a Counter script from a third party to a page in Designer Pro 10

[donvalley]

I lost my files for ON30.ca and am rebuilding from scratch. I want to add the Counter app I had before but can't figure out how to do it. If I could access the code it would be easy but for once WYSIWYG is a pain in the ---.

Do you mean one of those Number of Visits counters?

I think you are better off with Google Analytics. It is invisible to the visitor and gives you a lot more information. And it is free.

Thanks Gary, looks good except I followed the installation drill a few days ago and still no joy, all zeros in the report.
I posted a follow up to that problem with google but still nada.
Any clues to where I may have screwed up?

Thanks in advance.

Post a link to your site and ask people to click it. Then check in a few days. If no results show then something needs to be changed.

Thanks Gary,

I inspected the code in each page using Windows notepad" and discovered that the JS snippet that should have been inserted by Xara was not there!
I cut and pasted the code with Notepad into each page and uploaded the site. Some data is now showing, I will give it a day or so and report back.
Are we having fun yet?

It looks like some of us are.

It's Alive!!
Some info is showing up this A.M.
I also discovered that I could re-install my former Counter site with Note Pad. It too is showing some traffic, may be interesting to compare their results over a few days.

Thanks again

A few days later both counters are running and show almost the same data or maybe exactly the same data just presented a little differently.

Thanks again
