Web counters for galleries, etc. Any computer guys out there? I saw many Betterphoto members who have clocks and/or web counters in their galleries. Also, I've noticed that some members have colorful and unique fonts they use in their discussions. I was just wondering how to do those two things.

For the latter,...ask Greg. He's the resident expert.

You will have to subscribe to a web counter service. Many (who use one) seem to be using a free counter service from bravenet.com (http://www.bravenet.com/webtools/counter/index.php). When you get one, you are given a HTML code or a script you will have to copy and paste it into your BIO blurb or your Gallery blurb. If you have more question on this, please let me know.

Thanks, Nobi, that is exactly the help I was looking for (except I don't know much about HTML)! Now I have a web counter in my gallery (from Amazing Counters) but it has a small ad below the counter.

I just edited the html to get rid of the ad. I just hope it keeps working. Later.

I just looked at your counter. You've done good. So you are familiar with HTML. Great.

Thanks, Nobi. I'm not really sure what the font tag refers to. I'm not SO familiar with HTML, I just know that part of the code said the part about the ad so I deleted it. So the "font" tag has to do with your comment font or the gallery text font? I don't know where the tag is or how to use it, so I'd appreciate more, clarification. Thanks!

How to test the code? Follow these steps: - open a notepad

oops, sorry, Ariel, I missed the part of your question. The font tags may be used anywhere HTML is allowed on any web site. So, in terms of here, you may use it in your gallery blurb, bio blurb, and in your comments.

Ok, so let me try it: How's this? Red? Is this green? Let's see how this works. So if you want to change the font you always have to use these codes? Ok, thanks for all your help, Nobi.

Hey, it works! I hope I'm doing it right this time! Thanks, Nobi!

Way to go! About your questions of color codes: Then, you may ask when and why we use the color codes...

Hey, Nobi, I'd just like to thank you so much for your help. Since then, I've learned so much HTML.

Credit yourself for learning HTML. It's always up to the students to learn, not the teacher... ...it's good to know it worked out well. Thank you for letting me know. - Nobi (I will answer your new question later today.)

Ariel, somewhere along the line you asked me about the character entities I mentioned. The best I know how to explain them is to say they are in a similar context to the old ascii characters in computer programming language. A pre-defined set of code represents certain character. Therefore I can display the intended characters without having the browser trasnlating them.

Oh, I see. You just wrote different letters and it showed up as code, without it becoming "translated" into action. Cool! Ariel
