gotta get that metro in the morning!! watch that web counter it counts your own hits and refreshes too :-) I mean I wish I had 500 hits on my site, as if.
really? the one i have counts each page I look at (page views), but only counts my entire visit as one (visits)- regardless of how often i refresh or look at it over the day (i obviously have investigated all the possible ways to bump up my figures... the best i can do it look at it at home as well as work :)
oh I must get one like that then - though it means it won't be free then I guess :-)
PS I am 2 day to your site, am not allowed to blog at work unfortunately, there would be more if I were!
