How to use your infogen web-counter.

First off, this HOWTO presume you have contacted homepages@infogen.net.nz and requested to have your Pesonal Web-Counter setup. When mailing homepages@infogen.net.nz please state what 'theme' you would like as your default theme. A list of themes is avaliable Here with their name listed next to an example.

Step 1:


Setting up your web-counter is a very simple process. It is basically just a matter of adding another 'image source' HTML tag in your page where you want to counter to go.

The 'image source' HTML tag is just a simple combo of a link to the counter program, and your infogen username (Your infogen username WITHOUT the @infogen.net.nz on the end)

So if you username was webmaster (this being your infogen username without the @infogen.net.nz, this username will also be the same as the username for your personal webspace) you would append that to the link to the counter program http://home.infogen.net.nz/cgi-bin/counter.cgi? resulting in an 'image source' HTML tag as such

Q: Can I change my 'theme' If i decide i like another one better?

Changing themes:

Changing themes is very simple. It is just a matter of adding the theme you wish the counter to use inside the 'image source' tag you supply.

Say I wanted to change my them from the default one I have. The default one I have is 'relax'. To change this theme to another one I simply add +themename inside my 'image source' tag. For example say I wish to now use the theme 57chevy I would change my 'image source' tag to
