personal url image

[brianvoe]

ive just created a basis for my website and i was wondering how i place a little texture on the left hand side url bar. it just gives it that little final touch. i was also wondering how i place a number bar at the bottom telling me how many people have looked at my site.

For an icon to appear next to your URL, you have to make an ico format image (iconmaker can do that). Make sure that the name of the ico file is favicon.ico, and all lower case.
Next, place this ico file in the root directory (index.html) of your webserver. That's it!

For the hit counter, your server might have a list of hit counters available that you can just paste in your webpages. If not, then you can either get one from here (http://www.statcounter.com/free_hit_counter.html) or google "hit counter scripts" and it will give you tons of options whether you want to use an ASP, PHP, or Javascript hitcounters.

Hope that helps.
