How To Add A Counter To Your
Internet Texoma Web Page
As an Internet Texoma customer, you receive five MB of server space for a
personal Web site. Read on to find out how to put your own counter on your personal Web
page! Please note, you should have some skill in HTML code and Web page development when
trying to implement your counter. If you have any problems, contact the support desk.
Step 1: Visit http://help.texoma.net/Website.htm for
information regarding Web site construction, including frequently asked questions (FAQ).
Step 2: Create your Web page.
Step 3: Look below and determine which counter design
you want to use. The HTML code for each counter shown will be included just below the
counter. All you have to do is copy and paste the code shown into the image location field
of your HTML editor, or between the quotation marks of the HTML code... <img
src="red code goes here">. Remember, the red text is the image source.
If you're using an editor, insert an image and paste the code as the image source, or
location. There is one thing you need to change in the red code: you should replace
"username.dat" in the code below with the name of YOUR data
file, which is your login name. For example, if your login name is "janedoe",
your counter's data file will be "janedoe.dat".

Working with colors
Your counter's color scheme can be changed many different ways. The
digit color, digit background, and frame color can be customized to your needs. The
following commands below can manipulate your counter's color scheme. Just paste these
commands shown below to the end of the code of the counter style you choose above. Be sure
that you used the code for frames if you want to specify frame color. The color can be
specified three ways. RGB format (255;255;255), Hex format (FFFFFF), or you can use the
color's name (WHITE). For a list of color names, look at this color name mapping database.
Frame Color: &frgb=RRR;GGG;BBB
or &frgb=RRGGBB or &frgb=NAME
Digit Color: &prgb=RRR;GGG;BBB
or &prgb=RRGGBB or &prgb=NAME
The background has an extra step. You have to specify the source
color, then specify the new pen color. Here are the commands.
Background: &srgb=000000
AND &prgb=RRR;GGG;BBB or &prgb=RRGGBB or &prgb=NAME
You can also make any color transparent. Just specify the color you
want to be transparent (clear) in the command below.
Transparent Color: &trgb=RRR;GGG;BBB
or &trgb=RRGGBB or &trgb=NAME

Displaying Date And Time
Your counter can also be configured to display the date and time of when it was loaded.
Take a look at the examples below to determine which type you like.
Display Date
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=A
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=B
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=C
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=D
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=E
Display Time
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=A
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=B
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=C
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=D
http://www.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=E
The same frame and color properties can be applied to the date and
time just like the counter, so everything on your page can match.
