Just had a thought,i would definately be Billy No Mates,cos my site must be so far down a search,and none of the names in my tree come up when googled. I wonder if my site would ever get found or just be via invites. Shame really cos i did quite a lot to it in the past few days,i even managed to copy and paste some baptism and census source info (getting the hang of this now!!) Glen

Not been yet Heather,still trying to find the site you mentioned,must be miles down the google list. Glen

OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo Heather, Thank you !! It worked ! I added a photo (& learned how to THAT in the process!) then stuck the code thingy in the description box & I've now got a counter - it's at 1 !!! (perhaps I should have started it at a thousand too!! - It'll probably stay there a while! Though if I don't get any visits I'll change it otherwise I'll look like Billy-No-Mates!!!)) Sarah :-)))

Val, its 1013 now - surely Glen hasnt been there 8 times since last night?

Sarah, well the forum I looked at said that FTM doesnt have the html facility EXCEPT in the picture descriptions - I dont understand at all, Im the partially sighted leading the blind here. So I just went to my home page, clicked on the edit, clicked on the photos list and descriptions and just went to the last one (as I was sort of expecting the counter would be shown at the end of the page - cunning plan didnt work). In the last photo you have a box for caption and then a bigger box for description. I went to the end of the description Id put in, pasted gobbledegook code stuff clicked on the save changes bit and finish. Went back to my front page and there it was - sitting in the middle of my photos list. If you havent got a photo yet I guess you cant do it.

Heather, HELP PLEASE!! I've been to Xcounters & registered Then I went to my FTM webpage & tried to add the doobry to the text bit of the homepage & it's just showing the code & hasn't added a counter. It says it's easy on xcounters but then it talks about html or something & I don't understand!! :-((( I don't have any photos yet so I can't do the thing you did any ideas??? Sarah :-) ps - just popping out to get some bread so won't reply immediately

Refined????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol! Merry

Olde Crone, I am getting a completely different impression of you lately, what with walking about on young men wearing high heels. I thought you were really refined. Not common like me. Phoenix but just think yours could have a picture of Eleanor of Aquitaine rather than a mob of cabinet makers and dock workers!

Coo, Heather, I'm jealous! I really like your site. All those lovely photos.

Gosh Heather I certainly MUST get some new spex, I can't TELL you what I thought you said Glen was doing! OC

goodnight, I bet Glen has trouble sleeping in those sparkly knickers, or does he take them off to go to bed.?????.

I havent got a rootsweb site Val - that was just a forum I found and it helped re the adding it to the pic text. (Ive deleted that message now in case it was more confusing than helpful) Nite nite. I bet Glens knocking my count up as we speak.

Heather how do you look at your rootsweb site is it only by permission or password

Val its on 1005 now!!

thats a bit clever Heather I am going to try it

Glen Ive done it. I went to x counters web site, you register (free) and then it gives you this gobblegook code. Copy that by right clicking and then go to your family home page. Click on edit and then go to the list of photos. In the description box for the last photo - after the description you have already put in there, paste the gobbledegook stuff and then click save changes /finish. When you go back to your front home page there is a little counter. Somehow I have managed to get mine half way down the list of my photos (?!) but its fine for my purpose - I started it at 1001 - so I will be checking how often you look!

Thanks guys, Id already tried to do it but I think I got the same site as Glen that said something about dont try to change this text or you will be banned or something or other. Then it said paste this code and I thought where do I paste it???? Ill have a look for that Julie, thanks. Nope nothing that says html anywhere. Ive now emailed them and when/if they reply Ill let you all know. Couldnt follow the Bravenet one either - and it seemed to offer just US peeps the service.

Hi another site you can get counters from is www.bravenet(.)com/webtools/counter/index.php Easy Installation Simply copy and paste the code onto your webpage and your Counter is ready for use! Julie I dont know how familytreemaker does it, but if there is an option that says something similar to 'include a html footer' then try pasting the code in there and then update your site and hopefully it will be there.

Had a look at that site,got lost when it said paste some code or other to the page using notepad. Gawd knows where it's supposed to go and notepad has never been opened on this pc. Back to the drawing board. Glen

Heather I just had a word with my son and he suggested googling web counter and you should find the code to type in for a web counter. I found this site:http://www.amazingcounters.com/?ref=gad003
