Add a web counter

How to add a web counter to your space

A web counter is a public way of showing the world how many people have visited your space. There are a number of free web counters available, but I'm going to show you how to use one from:
 
To add the counter to your space, do the following:
  • Go to http://www.amazingcounters.com/
  • Click on 'Sign Up' (note: signing up is free)
  • Select the style of your hit counter
  • Click on the 'Use selected style & Go to Step 2' button
  • Enter your personal details, ensuring that you put the website address of your MSN Space in the 'Site URL' text box.
  • Click on the 'Submit info & Go to Step 3:' button

Important: Before you continue, please be aware that these free counters come with an advertising link. The information provided on the Amazing Counters page, when you reach Step 3, asks you not to remove that advertising link. However, it does state that you can choose what you're advertising. It's up to you what you wish to do.

  • Click on the 'click to select code' link (note: this should highlight the text in the box below the link)
  • Hold down the CTRL key and press C (note: this will copy the code in the box below the link)
At this point you can choose to add your counter to your Space in one of two ways. 
 
 
Method 1 - Adding a counter to blog entries
  • Create a new blog entry or edit an existing entry
  • Press the <HTML> button on your blog editor
Note: When you press the <HTML> button you are enabling advanced blog editing features, you will notice that the contents of the blog editing space change. Text will often be encapsulated in what are known as HTML tags e.g. <P>your text</P>. Don't let this worry you, you're almost done.
  • Select the point in the blog entry you wish the counter to appear
  • Hold down the CTRL key and press V (note: this will past the code you copied into your blog entry at the point selected)
  • Publish your blog entry as and when you desire.
 
Method 2 - Adding a counter to your main page
 
To add a counter to your main page you need to make use of the Custom HTML PowerToy, you can add that PowerToy to your Space by using these instructions
 
Once the Custom HTML PowerToy has been added to your Space, you can add a counter to your main page using the following steps:
  • Paste the counter code (right-click in the box and select paste) you copied earlier into the Custom HTML module/box.
  • Press the Save button.

Add the sandbox powertoy

POWERTOY Sandbox

 
Custom HTML PowerToy
 
This Custom HTML Power Toy is designed to allow you to add a sandbox module to your Space in which you can enter text, link to images, and use other HTML features.
The Custom HTML Power Toy supports all of the same HTML that you can enter into a Blog entry and can be moved around your Space as a separate module, just like a list or any other Spaces module.
Additionally you can control the Title of this module and whether the borders for this module are displayed or not.
  
HOW TO ADD IT:
Click edit your space.
When in edit mode look at the address in the bar above it should be something like
 
http://spaces.msn.com/members/yourspacename/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c02_owner=1&_c=

so you should have http://spaces.msn.com/members/yourspacename/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c02_owner=1&_c=&powertoy=sandbox
 
Now click go.
