Hi, does anyone have an idea of how to make a hit counter so I can tell how many ppl have seen my site, but not have it display? I was thinking of some kind of counter that loads a variable from an xml file, and outputs it back to the same place. I’ve been working on this, but I cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

Thanks!!!
