Faculty Web Server Counter

Making a counter on the Faculty Web Server is not hard. All you need to do is add the following code in your HTML where you wish your counter to go:

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter.pl"-->

The result will look something like:

508

Your counter can also be included in the middle of a sentence, for example, if you put the following in your page-

You are visitor number <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter.pl"--> to this web site!

People viewing your page would see this-

You are visitor number 508 to this web site!

The one thing you must do with this counter is to save the page as "yourfilename.shtml" as the counter is a Perl CGI which runs from Server Side Includes (SSI).
